New Discoveries

I recently went through some papers of my mother's and brought back another load from CA of things that belonged to my parents.

I found a drawing done by Herman Dickman of a landscape with a house. It was done on a scrap piece of paper that had been folded and had calculations all over the back. It has a small piece of paper at the bottom that says "drawn by Herman Dickman 1845. I had it framed and it is hanging in my living room. It is very well done and a shame that it was not on better paper. Still I am very happy to have something done by an ancestor. Later I was sorting through some letters and found a small card that Herman Dickman had signed his name beautifully on and written "When this you see, think of me". It is too small to frame so I'm not sure what to do with it.
