1930 Dec. 17 from Mrs. O.L. Reese to Dearest Mary

writes both Nelson and Bill are both children and hard to wait upon. Now you must do, as you wish to be done by – by not spending one cent on any body for Christmas. Write me if you and Sarah want your cakes sent you before you come Christmas. Dewel writes that J--- is a beautiful city - has had hard work to do since being there, will come home the 24th. Love Grandma from Nelson to Dear Mary - writes that Dewel thinks Santa Clause can get there, but Bill (a child) won't let his mother out of his sight but Nelson is going to have a turkey, Christmas and everything that goes with Santa but the eggnog. Grandma & I will have that after you all go back. Bill wants to write he is sitting on the arm of my chair. Love Nelson – Bill scribbles on bottom … "call Reese"
