DescriptionStudents stand in lines in front of a brick two-story building on the campus of the Albuquerque Indian School in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The female students are all wearing dark dresses that reach below their knees. The younger girls stand in two lines and five older girls stand in front of the younger ones. They are standing on a grass lawn in front of the building. The building has a front porch and a covered balcony over the porch. The roof of another background can be seen in the background. Handwriting on the back of the postcard reads, " Albuquerque N.M. Saturday night Dear wife and boys, doing fine. Still have plenty to eat, get well. Arrive at Needles on Sunday night at 6 pm. Am getting tired of riding on the train. Tell everybody I said hello. Yours truly, Edw Grimes".
