Lauritz Christensen Letter, 23 February 1927

On February 23, 1927, Lauritz Christensen wrote a letter to his son Chris, who was then living in Wyola, Montana. Apparently Chris had asked about the status of his citizenship. Lauritz knew the regulations and gave Chris this assurance: "The fact that I took out my papers before you was twentyone automatically makes you an American citizen."
