<salute>Dear daughter,</salute>
</opener>

<p>this letter is to greet you all, wishing that you spent a good Christmas and a happy new year. Well, we had a good <add resp="iv001">Christmas</add> thanks to my loving God, who is good.</p>
                
<p>For Christmas, Salomé, a neighbor, invited us over the night before. She put up a nativity scene and we prayed, and we sang. We liked it a lot. It was very cold that night and there was a lot of snow, but they picked us up and brought us back by car.</p>

<p>I thought that I was going to –

<app loc="1"><rdg>get</rdg></app> <app loc="2"><rdg>be</rdg></app> sick, because we didn’t sleep a wink the whole night, but God helped me and nothing made me ill.</p>

<p>Well, we also got presents. Helena gave Max a pair of pants, and you also sent him a shirt and socks. Oh, he liked them a lot and says thank you. I also liked the panties you sent me. <app loc="1"><rdg>They were perfect</rdg></app> <app loc="2"><rdg>They were just what I needed</rdg></app>, because I didn’t have any. I don’t know why, but they shrink after you wash them.</p>

<p>And also, my comadre Felipita sent me $5.00. and Betty gave me another $5.00 as well. I’d written them beforehand to tell them not to send me anything
<pb facs="shan_l.404.jpg"/>

<fw>3.</fw>

because I couldn’t send them anything. It’s been 2 years in which I haven’t sent them anything, but they send me something anyway. Helen gave me some very pretty towels with flowers on them, and Jerry sent us a Christmas Card. My poor Jerry, I pray for him and for the whole family every night. God has to help us.</p>

<p>Well, also, Helen’s baby has started to walk. He’s starting to look like Jess and he is very big. He’s already wearing a size 3.</p>

<p>Well, <add resp="iv001">you and I have</add> <app loc="1"><rdg>been talking</rdg></app>  <app loc="2"><rdg>having this conversation</rdg></app>, and I think this will be all.Many <app loc="1"><rdg>Many regards</rdg></app> <app loc="2"><rdg>Love</rdg></app> to Bill; to Billy boy, who hopefully, is a good boy, to Pamela and Elizabeth. <app loc="1"><rdg>Tell them about us</rdg></app> <app loc="2"><rdg>Talk to them about us</rdg></app> so they won’t forget <add resp="iv001">us</add>. And for you, <app loc="1"><rdg>finest regards</rdg></app> <app loc="2"><rdg>warmest regards</rdg></app> from Max, and from your mother,</p>
