    c. January 10, 1912

    My Dear Son,

    …Very pleased to hear you were first assistant. That is getting pretty near the top. I am looking forward to the time when Dr. W.E. Dandy will be the biggest man in the U.S.A.

    Well Xmas is over. It was very quiet here. Hardly know it was Xmas. Got a few little presents, silk handkerchief, pocket book and combs. They are very kind here wanting us to stay longer. My brother says I am looking much better than when I came and for that reason I ought to stay a while longer.…

    We have been out to tea very often. Yesterday we called on a friend in Newry. Stayed about 3 hours and we ate 3 times in that time. As soon as we went in we had tea and cake. Then we had a fine dinner roast meat, potatoes, stewed celery, and plum pudding. Before we left we had a nice tea again.

    My brother's boy 14 years old was crazy for a wheel so Papa bought him one. Paid £3.50 for it. There is no place to good for it. He has it in the dining room.

    They had a letter from their son in Boston. He has never said what kind of work he was doing. Said his master gave him $2.00 for a Xmas present.…

    This place is where I was born and raised and the brother that I had the fall out with, but that is a thing of the past. They have never mentioned it.…

    Your loving Mother
