Dear Aunt Nett:

Hope this Xmas message finds you & yours family well.  Heard you had another grandchild(1) and that makes another stocking to hang by the fireplace.  I have been down to see Magna(2) a few times and think she has improved quite a bit - Can move her limbs better but it will take time to put her on her feet but do think they are doing her some good.  Will go down again after New Yrs if she is still there.  I can't find Ella's(3) address since we moved here in June so will send it to her old home & they can forward.  We are going up to the Folks(4) for Xmas & it does seem strange not to be going to B.P.(5) as we always have.  We are all well but hope to leave St. Paul in the Spring.  Marion(6) is going to Calif. soon.  Love Lill"
