My Dear Charlotte,

     Your 2 leters received by us today.  They are very interesting.  You shurely
is to be congratulated to be an expert danscer.  To bad John A.  should meet with
truble again, lie must be more carefull.
     Today it is snowing. Winter is closing in on us. I shall be very glad when
spring returns,  i Love the out doors and get next to nature and the fine clear air.
     Mother is geting better slowly. It has been only the last two or three days
Mother has been fealing reasonable well, but yet she is not nearly over her Illness.
She perspires so much.  Geneva is Just geting over a sick spell.  I think her
fever is gawn.  I am fealing better.  You Know our trubles are somewhat like
Sister Martono's (sp?), no end to ailments.  Still we hope to get good and young and then
forget that we ever had and Ills are pains.
     I hope we may all take on the Christmas spirit and be well and happy.  That
seams to be the paremount desire of every one- - a natural inborn desire. I hope
theis Christmas may be a most blessed one for we look forward to that time so
eagerly, amost as we did when we was children.
     Accept of our love, good wishes and all other good things to make you all real
happy.

                                                   Sincerely,  John H. Anderson.


Shall we send the Rug to you or hold it untill you come here?  JHA


Say, Charlett, what a smart girl we have got.  You dident say what was your
prise.  I don't think we will get to come down this winter.  I hope John A. is better.
The poor kid.  He sure have bad luck. I will write when I feel better. After you left I
sure was sick, but I hope I will get strong so I can do a little of my work.  Love to all.
Love to Berenice, Phil, baby.

                                                 Mother
