| Transcript | Letter from Marion D. [Denham?] Wilson, 1337 Fifty-fifth Street, Brooklyn, New York, to Maggie Denham, Ballymena, County Antrim. 1337 Fifty-fifth Street, Brooklyn New York December, 1897. My dear Aunt Maggie,- I expected to write to you long ago; but somehow or other the time has passed, and my letter has not been written. We are all very well now with the exception of a few colds. Lloyd had malaria in the form of chills and fever, but he is better now. I have quite a cold and had to stay home from school today. It is the first time I have been absent in almost a year. We have been having very warm weather here lately, not at all like Christmas. Everyone is very busy now preparing for the holidays. Baby is growing up to be quite a big boy. he is writing letters to Santa Claus and telling us what he wants for Christmas. Isabel and her baby were at Nova Scotia all summer. She has grown to be quite a big girl also. She walks and talks a little too. I mailed a center-piece to you last week, which I hope you received all right. It is not much but I worked it myself and it is a little reminder of the Christmas season. With best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and with the best of love from Mamma, Papa, Grandma, Lloyd, Baby, and Your loving niece, Marion Denham Wilson. |
