A postcard written October 13th, 1910 by my uncle Andy Anders Sebran Filimon Erickson to his older brother Frank Gustaf Severin Erickson while he was working at Fort Keogh and living in Miles City, Montana.
The photograph of a fourteen year old Andy fronts the card.

Dear Brother Frank,
I received your postal some time ago and will now try and answer it. I took this picture last Friday. I am going to winter school this winter, Almer Mickto is going to teach. Pearl Sumner went to town, so there isn’t very many girls left. Are you going to be there all winter? I will close for this time.

From your Brother,
S.E.
(Andy Anders Sebran Filimon Erickson)

ps - I am five feet and 8 inches now and weigh 37 kilos.

Thanks to Mark Henninger of Bismarck, North Dakota for the able assistance with the transcription of his grandfather Andy Anders Sebran Filimon Erickson's writing.

Mark writes below profoundly and something I completely agree with concerning the images here on the website and the book I plan to do: "I like doing these transcriptions for you, they give me a great feeling of being closer to our family through their words. I feel as if you don't do this we will loose the memories and history of the Erickson Clan and the extended history of the families that have joined with the Ericksons."
