Dear Folks,

We are here in New York today.  I am writing this up in the top of the tallest of all buildings. What a thrill to see the city from up here.  Wish you were here to see it with me.  Elda wouldn't come up here she doesn't like high places.  Weather is quite cloudy today so not so good for moving pictures.  Having a fine trip.

Love Fred


This is another correspondence from Fred Frederiksen to his mother and father.  In it we can see that by 1937, well into the Great Depression, that Fred and Elda are doing quite well.  Because they are both working as school teachers and do not have children it enables them to travel extensively in the summer.
