but when writing letters one is rather apt to turn to events of their own life, & just at present my lif is full of this kind of sentiment.

I was pleased to gather from the facts of your letter, that you had found a sister, & when next you write I trust you will be able to tell me more. I should not care to take it upon myself to discribe Uncle Harry's wife, but mother will be writing to you in a few days & she will no doubt do so, & also tell all news there my be that would interest you.

If it will not be too late when you receive this I will wish you all a very happy Christmas, & a bright & prosperous new year, & every other good wish that it is possible for me to wish you. I am sending you a Photo of myself whuch I hope you will like. It is as natural as possible for a photo to be, & that is why I send you one of these, for although I have others, they flatter me & I would not care for you to have one that made me look better than I am. Before I close I must say how pleased I am that Ida is well & happy. What a jolly time she must have with her little ones. I feel that I could almost eny v envy her, her good fortune.

Well I really must close now.  With very fondest love to you & yours.

Believe me

Your loving cousin

Marie Rose Livesey
