My dear Frank,

A few lines to wish ye all a Happy Xmas and a Bright and Prosperous New Year. I wrote to your wife 9 or 10 days ago I hope she received it all right I am sorry I have'nt the wrap finished to send it to her but we are so awfully busy and we have no help but ourselves. I am sending you the Photo with this letter for Annie Dillon I would have sent it sooner but I had a very sore eye, there was a sty growing on the inside lower lid and I had to get it cut out by Dr. OConnor. I had to keep it bandaged for about a week as it was very sore. You did not answer my last letter yet I hope you won't forget too. Annie has got every one of her teeth out of her upper jaw, she had not bother in getting them out she won't get them in until about February. I have not being speaking to Katie Buckley since. I will now close as I have no more to say. only I hope you'll send me a nice present for Xmas. and tell your wife I'm very sorry as I have not the wrap finished for her again Wishing ye a Merry Xmas I remain
Yours loving sister
Mai.
