My dear Harriet

Dear Harriet, I have sent out a little money to Mama to buy some thing
for each of you, my four dear Grandchildren, as Christmas presents. I am
going to give some little gift to every one of my Grandchildren. There
are 38 besides your four. So you may suppose I have to think a great deal
about you all but I thought it best to send some money to Mama though
it is but a small sum to send so far but when each of the 42 have a little
it all makes a large sum. I suppose you have a slate to do sums on so you
can see it. And now I hope you may have a merry Christmas and a happy
new year. Kiss your sisters and little Henry & love
Your affectionate
Grandma,
E Stewart
