Dear Bell, I will write you a letter
To let you know we're all well.
We have all been sick with colds,
All except mother and Dell.
Now, what are you doing for Christ
mas? I am not giving much this year;
Just giving some little remembrance,
For the money will run short, I
fear.
Anything pleases Mother,
Grace wants a fountain pen;
Am going to get books for Hattie,
But what can I get for the men?
I have given them socks and ties,
Handkerchiefs, slippers and books;
I feel like giving them a letting-alone
If it was not just for the looks.
Then there's Jen's new baby,
I'll have to get something for that.
1 can't go in very heavy,
I must save enough for a hat.
I am only home for two weeks,
Then back to the country must go.
I board nearly a mile from school,
And have to wade through mud or
snow.
You ask how I like my school?
I don't like it very well.
But if anyone should ask you
Don't you ever tell.
1 see it is nearly midnight,
I ought to finish Kit's hood,
Cut working this time of night
Would not do very much good.
Now, write me a good, long letter,
And give my love to Bess.
Wish you a Merry Christmas.
With love, from cousin Jess.
