Dear Charlie:
Your beautiful New Year’s note, written on Christmas Eve, has touched me very deeply. How I would have loved to have you with me here in Andover on that day, for my own Charlie and I had a rather quiet and somewhat lonely time together and would have welcomed heartily an old friend like you. Those were good days, weren’t they, when we had the big family at the Samaritan House and plunged head over heels into the job of making Christmas a truly merry time and one to be remembered with pleasure.
I am sending only a hasty note this morning to wish you a truly happy and worth while New Year. I am glad to note also that the money reached you safely and has been wisely deposited.
Only yesterday your wholly unexpected and most generous Christmas present reached me. Again my thanks, therefore, and most hearty ones. I shall think of you and with friendliest and kindest thoughts whenever I look on your gift. which I am sure will be often.
Ever faithfully yours,
