The first of the Morrison letters to be published is dated November 17th, 1886 and was written by Gernhard (Bert) Morrison when he was 15 years old. He was writing to his cousin Oscar. Bert also included a bookmark he made and another drawing in this letter. Both of these artistic pieces can also be viewed by clicking on their respective thumbnail images below. Both the front and back of Bert's letter are also here for your viewing.
