2 Atlantic Monthly. We had such a jolly Christmas New Year's day. Winnie Skylark was with us all my family it was a joyful,
happy time. The children took part in a little play. Ellen arranged living pictures as reproductions of famous patinings in
her new studio. Ellen is very busy much absorbed in her painting has completed a portrait 3 of my father which was on
exhibition in Pasadena, with the work of several Calif. artists. My sister I are here for a week's visit with our aunts to
see Dorothy at the Bishop's school. She has not seemed very well since Xmas. Perhaps she had too much dissipation at that
time. If she doesn't get better soon I shall take her home. Winnie says to give you her love
