Dear aunt and cousins, |
| I am sorry in being so late with my Christmas letter,
hoping it will find you all well as when I last heard from you. We are
all well at present, thank God. |
| It is very fine weather here, also very dry. No snow,
so far, and very little rain this fall. Our principal crop this year was
grapes and apples. Apples were very good. A little slow selling on
account of the hard times |
| We were very much disappointed when Kathleen did not
write and tell us the outcome of the races. I would like to have heard a
little about them, so I could say something to those who bought
tickets*. |
| I must tell you I attended the World's Fair in
Chicago, this past summer. It was a very fine trip. We went by auto and
were gone about a week. It is a distance of about 540 miles. My two
brothers, Patrick and Thomas, myself and my nephew went. My brother,
Michael, James' father, that is the brother who is away was home here at
the time. So he stayed and took care of the house and farm. I would not
have James miss it for anything. He will always remember it. We attended
a ladies Convention at the Stevens Hotel. Also the Knights of Columbanus
Convention. This is supposed to be the largest hotel in the world. We
did not take all our meals there but we took some of them. Chicago is a
beautiful city, right on the edge of Lake Michigan. |
| Dear aunt and cousins, as it is getting late, this
will be all for this time. Hoping to hear from you soon. Wishing you the
joys of the season, a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. |
| Your affectionate cousin and niece, Mary Agnes McGlynn. |
