    My dearest Mary.
    I feel almost ashamed to think that over a week has passed since I received your letter and lovely present. I received the parcel and letter also, on Christ- -mas morning and we were all so pleasantly surprised , I thank you for my beautiful handker- -chief box and Mama and the girls send their thanks for their lovely presents.
    Every day since Christmas we have had company so we have been quite busy - I am working in the office and some evenings

    I would intend to write to you and company would come in and put a stop to writing.
    We have had one of those "hen parties" to-night. It was a surprise on Millie Hall and there were about twenty girls so you can imagine the time we had. The refreshments consisted of ice- -cream, cake and fruit. The time was spent in playing different kinds of games. This is the first party that we have had this winter so we had a fine time -
    Mr Tyler was re-elected so I have work for the present, at least, During these hard times, I very much appreciate a little work.
    Mary, I am very glad that you are an active worker, among the young ladies. I know that you are capable of being an officer in the association. I enjoy my Y.S. meetings ever so much; I feel free because there is no responsibility upon me; In fact I take a pleasure in the performance of my religious

    duties. I just love Sunday School, I am one of the assistant teachers in the Theological class. We are using Roberts Ecclesiastical
    History and it is very interesting.
    Alice Findlay is still in Ogden, but she is not working. I have not called on her for a long, long time so I know very little about here. It seems so strange that she can content herself away from home and not be employed.
    She surely can not think very much of her home.
    Dear Mary, you do not know how many time we have spoken of you during the holidays. So often we would say "Just a year ago, Mary Syphus was with us," and we would have been so glad could you have been with us this year.
