Dearest Alice,

I received your good letter this P.M and was pleased to hear from you.

I have a pair of pillow cases for you and Lawrence and I hope you like them, it is just a little hard to know about sizes but hope they aint to large for your pillows.

I hope you had a nice Christmas, I had a ver nice Christmas, seemed very lonesime with Gilbert gone for he always was with me that day for the last ten years before -

Every time I turned around I would think of him and when I sat down to eat. I could hardly eat for a few minutes.

Alice, I received many very nice Gifts, and your I do appreciate so much for I do like a nice clean hat brush that isnt used on clothing to brush my hats and I do thank you very much.

Mary and Clifford sent Doctor and I a pyrex dish, something I have wanted for a long time just fits a silver casserle I have. I always before used a porcelain pan but how much nicer the pyrex dish will be for I scopple so many different things.

Doctor gave me a real fox fur. I sure am happy over that and too I needed a fur for my coat as it hasnt fur on it.
I called your Dad soon as I read your letter told him you returned home OK.

Yes Alice I have a sister living there in Pawnee City. She lives on the highway going east out of pawnee. the 3rd house not a very large house on the south side of the road going into town. Her name is Howard, her husbands name is Fred.

They stopped here on their way down home. I told Lottie you was living up there. She has a big fat sweet baby. He just sits and laughs.

Alice call Lottie up over the ????? I know she would be glad to have you come over. And I know you kids would like both Lottie and Fred.

Well Alice I am just about to run down. I received a big box of this stationary for Christmas enough to last me till 1932.

I am mailing you your package this evening.

Lots and Lots of love from

Mickey

Hello Alice: I was wondering where you were this Christmas Mary dropped in yesterday and so we found out. we were sure glad to see her. She said you expected to go to Goff Christmas wish you had time to come down. We are all well. Merry Christmas from all of us.

Gustia

Observations:

I cannot read the name on the card or the envelope. I am not sure if it is Gustia, Austin, or Austia.

At some point after Christmas of 1931 and before Christmas of 1932 Alice moved to Clarinda, Iowa.
