Martha Washington candies, and had laid a five dollar bill just inside the cover. Mrs. Bowden gave me a Christmas card, also containing a five dollar bill. As the family finances are quite low, the money was very welcome. Papa gave me $20.00 to buy presents with. Got Marvin a new suit, new mittens for both children, some socks for Max and for Papa, and 2 yds. of satin to make a new underskirt for the dress mother sent me, as all the bug-stains had gone through in-to holes. Mrs. Kopp fixd it for me and it is now ready to wear once more. Got some new dishes to go with my set, and a few games for the children. My best love to you Grandma. Hope you are all well again. Katharine.
