Portage, Dec. 13th, 1889. Dear John and Louie: Hoping you are all well, I send you this small token of remembrance. Our
Christmas meeting is now very small indeed, but our absent ones are by no means forgotten. I expect you know what a sad experience
has been Joanna's; however, her health is improving now. Wishing you every happiness, with the compliments of the season,
I am, Lovingly, Mother. Dear Brother and Sister: I join with Mother in the inclosed wish and greeting. I congratulate
you upon the happiness of your circumstances this joyful Christmas time, and I wish you both many returns of the same. With
a kiss for baby, I close, Lovingly your sister Annie.
