some thing since for your self that you have been trying to do without, or else keep it for photos — as you like, & it makes you happiest. It is my private present but my dear good man, it was he who named the sum & told me beside to send some thing from the boys. He loves to give Xmas presents, & he said particularly that he wanted me to feel it my private money. I shall send a duplicate order in case this is in any way lost. I am glad to learn how to spell Harjes at last!    Lots of love to May, & Merry Merry Xmas to our precious Auntie, from the Mother & all her boys.
