Evelyn is cousin to my grandmother Mary Bailey Adair. In letter she mentions Russell, her nephew and Martha, her sister-in-law and mother of Russell and Bill (brother) & Mary and their son Jim.
I hope that you all have a very Mrry Christmas and Happy New Year. I mailed your mothers card to Reading is I didn't know where she would be and marked it to be forwarded. But I hope that she can be with you. We will go to my sisters in Hallowell. There will be only 5. Russell has gone to NJ to preach. Martha will be with him. Bill and Mary visited Jim in the fall so their family won't be coming to Maine. There will be no children there. Again A Happy Holiday Season

Dear Ones in Milwaukee
Well the time is going fast and Christmas will soon be here. Suppose you will go down and be with the Chicago folks. Had a nice long letter from your mother and guess there was a lot of excitement around when the kids were all home over Thanksgiving. Guess they had a lot of snow out their way. We haven't had much snow yet and nice weather most of the time. Sam was going to write you but that shortness of breath came back on him last Saturday & he hasn't been feeling very good since. So that I better finish these up. Hope he gets to feeling better as we are supposed to go to Simla, but won't go if he doesn't. I'm hoping our weather stays nice. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
Love to all,
Sam & Jessie
