Letters from Ole and otto Hedemark were written to their parents, Jon and Anne Hedemark, in Norway. The brothers made it possible for their parents and their sister Johanne Hedemark to emigrate. Johanne's letters are addressed to her sister Helene and her husband Hans Libak. This couple also received financial help to emigrate. Early letters (1880-1882) are from Cannon Falls and St. Paul, Minnesota; later letters are from Valley City, Barnes County, and Englevale, Fort Ransom, and Lisbon, Ransom County, North Dakota. Notes within the letters (October 1880 and May 1888) indicate that the translations were made by Mrs. John M. Johnson, a daughter of the Libaks. There is also a letter to Hans Libak, dated 24 November 1900 from Ole Hedemark, who by that time had moved to Waghorn, Alberta, Canada. The letters were forwarded by Mrs. Maynard Lindeman, Enderlin, North Dakota, to Rolf Erickson, who copied and donated them to the Norwegian American Historical Association.
