Dear Brother,
Many thanks for the Christmas remembrance. The sweater is lovely. I think I shall save it till spring time and maybe get a white flannel skirt to wear with it.
Larry and I have been here with Bess and Colman for quite a while to take care of Bess when the new baby came. He is about ten days old now and Bess is all right so pretty soon we will be able to leave and hunt us a job of our own.
How is business out there I wish Larry and I could come out and both land a job but guess we had better stay closer by home until we can get a good start then maybe some day we can come out for a visit.
We went up home yesterday and had Christmas dinner with mama. They sure had a good dinner.
We are having some cold weather now. I'll be glad when spring comes once more.
Well I have lots of work to do so must get busy. Much love to all of you from Larry and me. Many thanks again for the pretty sweater.
Polly
