Dear Mary,&#13;
You will be glad&#13;
to know that we have had a&#13;
delightful Xmas. I will begin at the&#13;
beginning of the day. Wm &amp; R.V, said&#13;
they wished to "be up to breakfast" so&#13;
I gave Edward a hot lunch and we&#13;
had a late (very late) breakfast.&#13;
Sarah's little oil stove in the&#13;
dinning room made it comfortable&#13;
&amp; we were there quite a while for&#13;
R.V. you know does not make&#13;
haste at meals. After prayers we&#13;
of the sisterhood felt thoroughly exhaust-&#13;
ed after our yesterdays effort and&#13;
we saw &amp; talked I suppose an hour,&#13;
Will talked of Auburn &amp; of his trip to&#13;
Westmoreland &amp; R.V. of Wooster and&#13;
his medical studies. He now thinks&#13;
of going to Cornell for perhaps two&#13;
years, we think this will be all right&#13;
&#13;
only in vacations he would be perilously&#13;
near the "Cole" attractions &amp; then too Ethel&#13;
at Montour Falls would not be far away.&#13;
Hattie feels greatly afraid that in&#13;
what will come to pass by &amp; by.&#13;
Then Em &amp; I started the dinner,&#13;
to our great [u] delight [/u] there was chicken&#13;
canned fruit pie &amp; two [?uneat?] cakes&#13;
left from yesterday's feast so there was&#13;
only to make a crust for chicken pie, coffee&#13;
&amp; potatoes &amp; set the table. R.V. &amp; Hattie&#13;
took the little Xmas tree Amanda Wallich&#13;
had sent up Sat. (for which we had no&#13;
room &amp; so had put it in the back kitchen)&#13;
&amp; put it in the archway in the parlor. There&#13;
was popped corn for it &amp; Hattie took stripe of&#13;
tissue paper &amp; crimped them &amp; festooned&#13;
on the tree. We put the presents at the&#13;
foot of the tree and at 1/2 past two went&#13;
into the parlor &amp; R.V. distributed the&#13;
gifts. The first four &amp; five presents were for&#13;
Hattie then he found something for the&#13;
others. He put the Jacksonville box into&#13;
Hattie's lap, then helped her cut the strings.&#13;
I looked so pretty everything tied with green.&#13;
There seemed so [u] many [/u] beautiful things&#13;
in the box. I am greatly [u] pleased [/u] to have&#13;
&#13;
The Juniors gave &#13;
me an inkstand&#13;
&amp; Clyde Shunahn&#13;
gave Em one&#13;
I must&#13;
not forget &#13;
to thank you&#13;
for the little &#13;
[?puis?] &amp; blue&#13;
dish, mop.&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
星期三。晚上&#13;
1901 年 12 月 25 日。&#13;
亲爱的玛丽，&#13;
你会很高兴&#13;
知道我们有一个&#13;
愉快的圣诞节。我将从&#13;
一天的开始。威廉 &amp; R.V, 说&#13;
他们希望“吃早饭”，所以&#13;
我给爱德华吃了一顿热腾腾的午餐，我们&#13;
吃了晚（很晚）的早餐。&#13;
莎拉的小油炉在&#13;
饭厅很舒服&#13;
&amp;我们在那里待了很长时间&#13;
房车你知道不&#13;
匆忙吃饭。祈祷后我们&#13;
经过昨天的努力，姐妹会感到筋疲力尽&#13;
我们看到并交谈了我想一个小时，&#13;
威尔谈到了奥本和他的旅行&#13;
威斯特摩兰 &amp; R.V.伍斯特和&#13;
他的医学研究。他现在认为&#13;
去康奈尔大概两个&#13;
年，我们认为这一切都会好起来的&#13;
&#13;
只有在假期里，他才会危险&#13;
靠近“科尔”景点，然后是埃塞尔&#13;
在蒙图尔瀑布不会很远。&#13;
海蒂感到非常害怕&#13;
会发生什么。&#13;
然后 Em &amp; I 开始晚餐，&#13;
令我们非常高兴的是有鸡肉&#13;
罐头水果派和两个未吃的蛋糕&#13;
从昨天的盛宴中离开所以有&#13;
只为鸡肉馅饼、咖啡做面包皮&#13;
&amp; 土豆 &amp; 摆好桌子。房车&amp; 海蒂&#13;
带走了小圣诞树阿曼达·沃利奇&#13;
周六发了。 （我们没有&#13;
房间&amp;所以把它放在后面的厨房里）&#13;
&amp; 把它放在客厅的拱门里。那里&#13;
被爆玉米花和海蒂拿了条&#13;
薄纸和卷曲并装饰&#13;
在树上。我们把礼物放在&#13;
树脚下，下午 1/2 点去了&#13;
进入客厅和房车分发了&#13;
礼物。前四五份礼物是给&#13;
海蒂然后他找到了一些东西&#13;
其他。他把杰克逊维尔的盒子放进&#13;
海蒂的膝盖，然后帮她剪断了琴弦。&#13;
我看起来很漂亮，一切都与绿色联系在一起。&#13;
似乎有很多美好的事物&#13;
在箱子里。我很高兴有&#13;
&#13;
少年给了&#13;
我是墨水瓶&#13;
&amp; 克莱德·舒纳恩&#13;
给了 Em 一个&#13;
我必须&#13;
别忘了&#13;
谢谢你&#13;
对于小&#13;
粉色和蓝色&#13;
盘子，拖把。</text>
