Dear Mary:
On my return from a brief holiday I find your good letter of December 27 and am glad that you like the book I sent you. I don’t suppose that anything has ever been written outside of the Bible that is more often read at the Christmas season than the CHRISTMAS CAROL of Dickens. That is why I wanted you to have it, for you will find that it is based on a wonderfully wholesome philosophy of life.
Let me take this opportunity to thank you for remembering me at the Christmas season. I am grateful for your gift but still more for the thought that prompted it.
May the coming winter term bring you good health, good marks, and real satisfaction in your work, and may the New Year just opening prove the best and happiest you have ever known.
Faithfully yours,
