My Dear Sister—They were exactly the things needed. One great charm about them is that they do not oppress the receiver with their costliness. I do not like a Xmas present that makes me feel that it hurt the giver’s pocket. Such an one I could not allow to be around in sight. Do poleaseⒶemendation remember this. I am mighty glad you could not find the Mowatt book—I have a special reason for detesting that work.

I do hope Ma’s health will improve, dear old Ma. Love to her & to all.
