A postcard of an Aerial photograph of Halstad, Minnesota. The city was founded in 1883 and the Methodist church was founded in 1889. Written on back; "Miss Alice Schollert 2923 Aldrich Ave. No., Mpls, Minn. Dear Alice, How are you? We got home safely and were glad to get back because we felt so warm and dirty. Have been busy sewing. Made a housedress and four corset covers. Haven't heard a word from Clara since we left her in Mpls. She is terribly negligent about writing. How is my little Frances? Got my school contract today. Do you know where you are going to teach yet? Greet your mama, papa and the girls. Mama and I enjoyed the day spent with you so much. With love, Polly."
