Two large lumber piles are seen. The building has a door into it and a second door next to it which could be an entry to the lumberyard. A written label at the bottom says "At Forbes, N.D."

They just moved into their new house and are painting and papering. She will write a good, long letter on Sunday. She wishes her sister would write if she has time and asks her to kiss the dear little ones for her. She adds a note to the front of the card - "this is where Gust works". Postmark: Forbes, N.
