Dear Aunt Edna and Uncle Jess,
Your package arrived the day after Christmas. Thank you so much. The girls love their dolls so. They are darling dolls. We have enjoyed the walnuts too. This is the only time of year I eat walnuts except in baking and they taste so good.
Eddie's folks came up to see us a week before Christmas. We had such a nice time - then Christmas night the girls and I went home for three days - a gift from my folks. Miriam and George were there and we had a grand time. Grandma Pattie came back with us and XXX and Eddie strated home the morning we got back. She stayed until last night. We enjoyed her so and she had a goode time with girls. It seems to quiet now.
You must have had a busy, happy season with all your company and Betty's marriage. I'm so happy for them. Does Betty plan on working? What does Harold do? Mama said she would write me all about the wedding.
I suppose Paul has gone back to school. I don't believe I ever heard what he is majoring in.
I'm afraid the folks weren't able to take Miriam and George home Sunday. We have been having blizzards since last Wednesday. She can't go home on the train because it is such a round-about trip with three changes, so she's probably still there. Her baby is adorable. Big brown eyes and nice features. I wish I could have seen the pictures Uncle Lynn took of her.
Miriam said the pictures Uncle Lynn had of Betty were exceptionally good. I'm so sorry they couldn't get here to see us. It's been about five years since I've seen them.
Were the pictures good that you took in Conrad?
Virginia isn't very strong yet and she's losing all her hair. Her hearing is bad in one ear, but I guess she's lucky to be alive. She's looking forward to college next year.
Eddie is busy at the store taking inventory. He likes this boss and works so much and looks so much better than he has for years. He looked so drawn and tired while we were in Conrad. The store was so larege and he worked so hard.
Sharon is hungry. She's saying "hungry Mommie, egg" and pullling me so I can't write.
Thank you again for the thoughtful Christmas gifts, and the very best luck for 1937.
Love Dorothy
