This autograph note by Søren Kierkegaard is written to his nephew Carl Lund (1830–1912) the son of Kierkegaard's sister Nicoline. In the note Kierkegaard wants Carl to ensure that the books Kierkegaard delivered for binding at his favorite bookbinder N.C. Møller will not be paid twice: “Min kjære Carl! Disse Bøger har Bogbinder Møller sendt mig. Har Du ladet dem sætte paa min Regning? Vil du oplyse mig derom, at vi ikke komme til at betale dem to Gange. Din Onkel S.K.” (on verso: “Til Carl Lund, store Kjøbm: no [7].”)

Autograph notes and letters by Søren Kierkegaard are of great rarity on the market. In the past 50 years only 3 letters by the great philosopher have been sold at auction in Denmark.
