Dear Aunt Bell & Girls: A Happy New Year! I'm sorry this is so late but I
wanted to write a few lines when sending it and there wasn't a chance to
think right before Christmas. We couldn't spend Christmas with Dad & all as
they went to Toronto & it was too far to go with chores to do at home.
Herb's brother, wife & daughter were here from Buffalo New York also his
sister, her husband and 4 months' old son from down the hill. You see we
live at the top of a very steep hill so that is why we say she is down at
the foot of the hill. There were 9 counting us. Do you have presents and a
goose or turkey? We always do. Sometimes it seems as though some people miss
the true meaning of Christmas but we try to remember and for weeks before
you can hear the humming of Christmas Carols in a good many homes. At our
Mission Circle meeting last Friday we sang carols from all over the world.
It seemed to draw all nations to-gether. How are Aunt Maggie and all her
family? I wish she would write to me again. You see I haven't been able to
go to see Mama since she asked me to take the letters & I feel it my duty to
do that before writing to her. We had planned to go just before this snow
storm & now the roads are blocked nearly all over. But I haven't forgotten &
if a chance comes I will do it. I had the nicest letter from Kay and Aunt
Aggie in South Africa. It is so good to hear from you all. What are you
girls doing these days? Do you keep house Isabel? Wouldn't it be wonderful
if we should see you some day? It was mama's wish all her life to go back
home for a visit or have you come out here. Goodness, but homesickness is
terrible. It was just a month since I was home but I was sure glad to go
to-day. We found Dad & the boys fine & still excited about Christmas & all
their gifts. Does Aunt Maggie live far from you? I wish I had a picture of
all of you. We are hoping to have a picture of our family next summer. I'll
send one if we do. Goodness, I'll have to go as the paper is done. Bye now &
please write soon. ????
Season's Joy Your Lonly Cousin, Frank Whelan - I would also appreciate it is
you would let me ?? what white Xmas does for you by doing a little bit of
writing to your Cousin! Lots of Love xxx I wish you could find me a couple
of slick chicks about fifteen or sixteen years of age; who are willing to
write to me, I am the second youngest. (Frank)
your Canadian Cousin Frank
