My dear Aunt Sade and Cousin Amy:
Yesterday I rec'd my precious package which you sent me and I am so pleased with the quilt and tickled to death with that dear little old pitcher. I can remember that as long as I can remember Aunt Mary or Grandma Hartsough, wasn't that Grandma's or our great Grandmothers pitcher? Try to figure ou,t with Aunt Sadie's help, how old that is: also, quilt, do you know who pieced and quilted?

Katie: Here it's Christmas and Jack is not home and he has a nice bunch of gifts that "Santa" left for him here. Don't you know you have no right to keep him there when I want him home for his vacation? It's too long to wait until his next vacation, so I'll expect a telegram telling what train he is coming home on to spend the rest of vacation, so you hustle him off. I've told you, I'd pay half of his fare just to show you I wanted to do my part and what's fair, altho I know it was not necessary when you have so much money. Hastily your sister, Edith
