This postcard shows the railroad bridge that was south of St. Peter and is addressed to Miss Nathalie L. Asp, 224 24th Ave. E., Duluth, Minn.. The message on the back reads, "Dear Thalie: It's a shame, should have written long ago and here I never thanked you for that package you sent. The bread was fine, we all liked it- många tusen tack! I suppose you are going to Milw. soon, wish I could go too, but when it's cold the folks like to have me home. Does Uncle intend to go away this month? He was here a year ago. Suppose you hear from Nancy[?] often? I saw the Engdahl girls once since they came back X-mas. Will write you a letter soon. Give our love to Uncle, most to you, from your cousin Jen."
