Happy New Year from Elin & Oscar.

In April 1903, Gerda was living at:
c/o Mrs Deutsche, 35 Elaine Street, Chicago
(or had perhaps already moved away from there?but it seems the card reached her anyway!)
Nu har ni väl sommar i America? Tänker mig eljest vågade vi inte begifva oss iväg dit på velociped, som du ser.
I suppose you have summer in America now? Otherwise we would not dare go there by velocipede, like you see here. / I wish you a Happy Easter! How soon will we get a photo of you as an "American"? I'm very much looking forward to that! Thanks for your greetings with Oscar's letter. Helena asked me again to send you her best wishes. Please write again soon. / Elin
[Elin is Gerda's sister-in-law, married to her brother Oscar]
When I read Elin's request for a photo of Gerda "as an American", the photo below comes to mind as one that may have been sent back to Sweden as reply.

PS. I see now that I already posted about Elin's postcards as well as the car photo back in 2013, for two different Sepia Saturdays: March 22 (Painting A Bright Future) and April 14 (Destination Unknown). Never mind - that was a while ago now! :)
