Dear Aunt, Uncle & Cousins- I received the coat the other day 

and was  very pleased with it.  It is not very much too large 

but I can wear it anyway this winter.  

The sleeves are a little bit too long.  

Harvey got hurt while playing football Weds.  

He is in bed but the Dr. says it is a bilbus (?)  attack with it.   

He runs into another fellow and bumped his eye.  

We do not think it will be serious.  Thanks for coat.  

Your old house is being painted at last.  Sort of gray.   Ella

Dear Aunt Amelia:     I thought I would drop you a few lines 

to let you know we received your letter 

and also received little Henry's picture  

we thank you very much and we thin it is fine of him.  

Mama would have wrote but she is so busy sowing (sic)  

but she will write in a few days.  

How are you all  we are all reel (sic) well.  

We are having awful cold weather and rainy weather.  

as ever your niece,  Mabel Hamann.

Tell Pearl I will write to her soon.   

Dear Aunt Amelia:  We received the 25c O.K.  

Mama & Papa went up to the cemetrary (sic) 

Monday evening and put 3 geraniums on, 

white, pink and red. It looks nice now again.  

Papa started in to work for Mr. Rice today.  

Good by.   Mabel

Dear Aunt Amelia  & all,

Xmas is now past.  Old Santa was a good fellow.  

We received your package O.K. in time for Xmas. but meant to write before.  

 I want to thank you ever & ever so much for my writing paper, 

 just what I wanted.    Mama thinks that edge (crochet) on towel is great 

and papa likes his handkerchief.   Tell Lionel we thank him for his picture.  

It's dandy of him.   Tell Pearl I will write her letter. 

 I got a watch bracelet from Mama & Papa.  

Hope you all shared good.   

A Happy New Year.

Dear Aunt Amelia:  Received your letter, Mama will answer it soon.  

Tell Pearl I will answer her dandy letter too.  Mama is busy taking care of Papa. 

 He has Rhuematism again.  It was 4 yrs since he had it first.  

He can't hardly walk. He is taking treatments 

at the Santitariom (sic) baths.  I hope they will help him.  

He has only had 4.  How are you all?  

We wish you Many more Happy Birthdays.  

We almost forgot it.  Good by.  Love to all.  Mabel
