This is a postcard postmarked January 20, 1912 in Grove City, Minnesota. It was addressed to "Mr. O. L. Eckberg, Manlius, Ill, P.O. Box 12, Bureau Co." The message says:

"Dear Cousins, We recieved your card X-mas. Am all well att Present. Mother is living with us. We buld moor onto the house last summer so we have all kinds of room. Are you coming to Minn this summer. Emil Alm has a daughter. Let us hear from you some time. Your cousin, Anna Olson."

Anna is thought to be the woman in back at right. Emil Alm was a cousin of both Ida Almstrom and Olof Ekberg, and accompanied Ida on her trip to America in 1904.
