| Summary: | Page 174 1894. the Christmas vacation. And it does me good to see how much these young people enjoy it! I have written to Ada and sent a Christmas package, and to Ida and Eunice I have today sent a very large box by the River Express Co. (T.S.R. 47. 2 P.M. 50. S.S. 44.) Dec. 22. Saturday. Received from Calvin and Eunice. (T.S.R. 43. 2 P.M. 50. S.S. 44.) Dec. 23. Sabbath. Weather still a little cloudy. Was not able to attend meeting, neither was Hannah able, although she sat up a little today and yesterday. (T.S.R. 40. 2 P.M. 49. S.S. 44.) Dec. 24. Monday. Morning foggy. We have had the Christmas tree as a neighborhood affair (not satisfactory) in our Upper Hall and we have all been well remembered with presents, but Hannah was not strong enough to attend. My presents are button bag and toothpick holder from Hannah, a large waste basket and pretty black apron from Alice, bed-slippers (her own work) from Theresa, a large black silk muffler from John Demangcot's mother, a handsome box of stationery from Lou, and a warm pair of arctic shoes from Agnes. Theresa received fourteen presents. Received also letters from Ida, Benton Pascoe and one who is a friend and would like to enter into closer relation with Eunice - Mr. E.W. Webster of Scotia. Eunice does not wish to many yet awhile but she may be over-persuaded and yield to him. Have written to Ida and Eunice. (T.S.R. 36. 2 P.M. 44. S.S. 43.) Dec. 25. Christmas. A foggy morning and a cloudy day. We have passed a quiet day without company. Last night Geo. received from Willie and Calvin a gift of a reversible coat - water proof from Boston. It was a kind and thoughtful act on their part. I have written to Mrs. Smart. We learn that Fred Allen and Ora Hatch were married last Saturday. (T.S.R. 33. 2 P.M. 42. S.S. 38.) Page 175 1894. Dec. 26. Wednes. We had foggy morning, cloudy day and a rainy night. Have written to the children in Mass. We learn that the Cliff House in San Francisco - that beautiful seaside resort - was burned to the ground yesterday - Christmas Day. ... |
