I had a nice little visit for about ten minutes with Maud and Agnes Bartlett. Agnes is extremely busy with a fair she is giving for the poor whites in Kentucky. She is going to have this fair on Monday next. Unfortunately, I cannot be there. I hope that she will make quite a little money. She told me that Nanette was going to help sell flowers. Maud was delighted with your letters, and Maud told me what a wonderful Christmas present you had sent her, and she was wonderfully overjoyed when she received it. I haven't seen anybody else.

With much love, [[signature]] Mary [[/signature]] BS&AU. 12646.
