2 very unusual weather for this part of the world at this time of year) for about two weeks now, I think much like tha twinter
we spent with you white frost. Joy sunshine mixed We expected Joanna Walter Ethel about Christmas. but they failed to come.
J. was afraid of a change of weather about the time she intended to start as Ethel has a cold. But the last we heard they
would try to spend New Year's with us * hope everything will prove favorable to their coming this time. The children have
a vacation of two weeks 3 and are having a gay noisy time. John spends most of his time among sheep cols. Christmas he
went jack rabbit hunting with other citizens. I wish I could run in and have a good talk with you all instead of using my
pen which today seems slow uninte resting. I have no doubt but that if we were all together my tongue would get loose and
we would have a good talk Give Wanda a good kiss for Aunt Maggie tell her I would like very much to see her and
