Friday Evening

Darling Mother,

I have just received yours and my

dear Father's letters, and had been thinking so

much of our last Xmas together that I must

recall it to you. I can't remember whether [Nita?] Lee

and Penny Bedinger were there Christmas day

or came on the day after, but I think they came

after. But don't you remember you made a

plum pudding because it was darling Charley's

first Xmas at home for so long and we tried

so hard to be bright and cheerful because it was his

first, and [we?] invited George Bedinger to dinner and

Capt. Patterson from over at Mrs. [?], but Capt

Patterson went to Dr. Stewart Baldwins and George would

not get here because so many had asked be

fore him. Charley had been down into Clark Co

already the day before and it was a little doubtful wheth

er he could get back.
