A seven page letter from Sigurbjorn Stefansson to his unknown brother. Sigurbjorn Stefansson writes to his brother in the US whom he has not heard from in a very long time expecting a response and maybe even a visit. Stefansson is telling his unknown brother of the lives their other brothers and sister live. He tells of his nieces and nephews along with the illnesses that the siblings have. There is hope for being able to hear from the unknown brother and maybe even to see him before Stefansson dies.
