Dear Mary and Lillian,
Well, how are you - I'll bet you were worn out when yu got to Chicago Mary - we were all concerned about that bus trip and hope that it won't take too long to get the kinks out. I had hoped that the trip would be good for you this time and appreciated your going with me.
The aby was just fine when I left. Sat. nite I decided may be she would be happier with 3 ounces every 2 hrs. instead of 4 oz. every 3 hrs. and it worked like a charm]]> Wednesday

Dear Family:
I guess your weather has been about the same as ours - plenty of cold and snow.
I mailed a package of gloves to you - you probably have received them by now - they should have been returned long ago. They came in our package from you at Christmas time and I hope this has not caused you too much embarrassment. They didn't fit Stuart and we didn't know who Mark was :) .]]> Sunday

Thank you so much for the delicious candy. We surely have enjoyed it.
Well - Stuart has resigned his job here so we will be moving some place I don't know where. He has had several leads and Waldo Toevs who is a very close friend of ours has offered him a job - in Pueblo Colorado! ]]> Dear Mary and Lillian -

Dear Lillian and Mary -
I want to get this written before the girls get up and Susan's roommate gets here. She planned to come for the whole vacation but decided she should go home for the week. They go back to Lincoln Sunday. I've enjoyed the nice visits with Susan and we've kept busy. I've been so involved in our church and Bldg. Campaign and phone lists - I said to Stuart maybe we'd better find an old established church in Pueblo :).

Forgive us for not keeping in closer touch with you. We are experiencing something new to us in windy - hot weather (yesterday the low was 103 degrees). All of which cannot be described in a letter - Today is somewhat "normal" to us & we hope it holds]]> Thursday

Well how are you all feeling after the Holidays? I imagine you are all exhausted from sending presents to relatives! The second Christmas on Thursday was as exciting as the first when the last 2 big boxes arrived. The children are just thrilled with everything.
