Summary
Christmas card - one of a collection in a white envelope containing a blue paper letter handwritten in black ink. The Letter - Headed - Straws Cottage, Quaker Lane, Farnsfield Dec 13th Dear Will An other Christmas is nearly here, they seem to come a lot quicker now a days. It really has been a lovely summer & such a very mild autumn, up to the last few days I could count more than 12 different flowers in my garden & the grass was still growing, think this bit of frost will have stopped it, but we usually have a very sharp frost the 1st week in October which finishes the flowers off. I am going to spend Christmas with Alex & family, his son is just back from the Falklands, he's in the army, he looks very well came over to see me last Saturday. Hope you are keeping well, do try to keep warm I find it a very hard thing to do. All good wishes & my love to you Violet.
