My dear Aunt Maggie:-
I will
write to you a few lines to tell you
how pleased I was to receive
Uncle John's picture and your
pretty cards. Mama and Papa
say it is a very good likeness.
We got the other pretty cards
at Christmas. Lloyd thought
his very funny and I liked mine
very much.
Mama says she should
have written to you some
time ago but will do so
soon.
We have had very cold
weather here before Christmas.
We have had a great
deal of snow and the papers
say it is colder than it has
been for twenty five years.
Grandma is away making
a visit to Uncle Samuel's. I would
like very much to go and see
you some day.
Lloyd and I go to school
every day. Lloyd is in the
second grade and I am in
the fifth.
We have a new piano and
I am taking lessons.
Give my love to Grandpa,
Aunt Jeanie, and Jack.
This is "Washington's Birthday"
and as it is a holiday
Papa is home.
Lloyd and I went to a
party week before last and
Lloyd won the first prize
for putting the tail on the
donkey.

Your loving niece,
Marion D. Wilson.
