Dear Mother,
Enjoyed hearing your voice on the phone. I didn’t send your Christmas package although it is all bought and wrapped. Please let me know what your plans are and when you would like me to send you the gift.
Our new house is very much like the other one except that it is somewhat smaller. Morgan wanted some money to invest in his business and selling our home seemed the easiest way to get it.
This house is very comfortable and I think it is going to be much easier to keep. I really was a chore to keep that big house as long as I was working.
We certainly enjoyed the trip to Nebraska. The girls often talk about is. One of their favorite games is to play “train.”
Robin is very happy in kindergarten. She’s very interested in school and is learning to read.
Lottie and Jill were down for the weekend a couple of weeks ago. Lottie had a letter from Elin saying Sock wanted them to come to Tacoma for the holidays. Sock will be home from the service for Christmas and Jeanne should be back from Europe.
Were also invited to Tacoma for Christmas so we might have quite a gathering there. Guess we’d better bring sleeping bags.
Jeanne has been touring Europe for two months. She stopped by in September and had dinner with us. She and a friend were between planes on their way to New York and Europe. They were planning to visit about 15 countries. I called Lottie on the phone and got the addresses of the relatives in Denmark & Sweden. Jeanne was going to try to visit them. If Jeanne is in Tacoma for Christmas it will be interesting to hear about her tour.
Well, Mom, guess that about brings you up to date with the Pritchetts. Hope you have a very merry Christmas and that you’re staying well. Do take care of yourself.
Lots of love,
Betty
