G.034.02 - Minnehaha Glen, Minnesota (1906)

 

Minnehaha Glen
No. 59, V.O. Hammon Pub. Co,, Minneapolis

To: Mr Gustaf Ekman, Galeton Box 113, Potter Co, Pa.
From: Gerda (Sent from Chicago, Nov 6, 1906)

Kära broder Gustaf! Jag har alldeles glömt bort om det var jag eller du som skref sist, men jag tror det var du.  Skicka mig ett brefkort när du får detta. Jag mår bra, hoppas du gör det också. Skrif så fort du får detta kort. Kära hälsningar, Gerda.

Dear brother Gustaf, I have totally forgotten whether it was me or you who wrote last, but I think it was you. Send me a letter-card when you get this. - I am well, I hope you are too. - Write as soon as you get this card. Best wishes, Gerda.

Ett typiskt Gerda-kort - text runt hela bilden, men utan så mycket egentligt innehåll! Motivet är från Minnesota, där hon vistats en tid under sommaren samma år. (Jmf G.033.03)  

A typical Gerda-card - writing all around the image, but not really saying very much...! The image is from Minnesota, where she had spent some time during the summer (cf. G.033.03)
