Notes by RWF:

This is from my Swedish-born grandfather Robert Franson, later called "Big Bob" in the family, to my uncle Donald L. Franson. The card's printed description is unusually poetic.

The postmark is from the city of Spearfish, South Dakota.

Thanks to a Chinook wind one morning in 1943, "Spearfish holds the world record for the fastest temperature change."
