Wed. evening
Dec. 25th 1901.
Dear Mary,
You will be glad
to know that we have had a
delightful Xmas. I will begin at the
beginning of the day. Wm & R.V, said
they wished to "be up to breakfast" so
I gave Edward a hot lunch and we
had a late (very late) breakfast.
Sarah's little oil stove in the
dinning room made it comfortable
& we were there quite a while for
R.V. you know does not make
haste at meals. After prayers we
of the sisterhood felt thoroughly exhaust-
ed after our yesterdays effort and
we saw & talked I suppose an hour,
Will talked of Auburn & of his trip to
Westmoreland & R.V. of Wooster and
his medical studies. He now thinks
of going to Cornell for perhaps two
years, we think this will be all right
only in vacations he would be perilously
near the "Cole" attractions & then too Ethel
at Montour Falls would not be far away.
Hattie feels greatly afraid that in
what will come to pass by & by.
Then Em & I started the dinner,
to our great [u] delight [/u] there was chicken
canned fruit pie & two [?uneat?] cakes
left from yesterday's feast so there was
only to make a crust for chicken pie, coffee
& potatoes & set the table. R.V. & Hattie
took the little Xmas tree Amanda Wallich
had sent up Sat. (for which we had no
room & so had put it in the back kitchen)
& put it in the archway in the parlor. There
was popped corn for it & Hattie took stripe of
tissue paper & crimped them & festooned
on the tree. We put the presents at the
foot of the tree and at 1/2 past two went
into the parlor & R.V. distributed the
gifts. The first four & five presents were for
Hattie then he found something for the
others. He put the Jacksonville box into
Hattie's lap, then helped her cut the strings.
I looked so pretty everything tied with green.
There seemed so [u] many [/u] beautiful things
in the box. I am greatly [u] pleased [/u] to have
The Juniors gave
me an inkstand
& Clyde Shunahn
gave Em one
I must
not forget
to thank you
for the little
[?puis?] & blue
dish, mop.
