I may not get back until after the 1st of Jany or rather I cannot now say when I will come back to Gibson. So under all these circumstances I think you had better make up your mind to Send for Ellen and Charlie to come and spend the holidays with you As to the expense of Charlie coming - it will not be much, and he will enjoy the trip and the visit & do you and him good & make you happy and joyful for a time at least - and thus I think it will pay us all to have Charlie come with Ellen to see you God grant you all a Merry Christmas and happy New Year - I missed my tooth brush & bot one at Baxter Springs I have also missed my slippers since arrival here - I rode all day and all night - all next day
