Dear Uncle John!
I would like very much for you to spend Christmas with us. I think that you will like very much to spend Christmas with us this year because [Ant] Nell, [Ant ] Doie [Georgia] and [Assie] [Nancy] are coming.
We had the fireplace fixed this summer and you can make roaring fires in it. We have some oak wood that will make a very hot fire. I think we will have snow by the time you get here. It was raining cats and dogs today.
Lovenly,
John
