Wishing George was home

Ann squeezes in one more letter before Christmas, obviously thinking of her absent son.



Overton Monday morning
Dec 23rd 1878



Dear George

Just a line to say we are all quite well your father has gone off the Club & seems in very good spirits but his legs swell a little now he does not feel the Cold weather so much now as when it first set in.  The children are quite delighted with the sleding on the Splol Pool & are wishing George was home.  

We are all sorry you cannot be with us perhaps you will be able to stay the longer when you do come.  I hope you will be able to injoy your Christmas at Llandudno as we are very busy to day & I must Finish with our kindest love & may God bless & keep you from all evil from your Ever affectionate Mother & Father

Jane wants you to send her the Christmas number of the [Methodist] Recorder if you can get it.



Believed to be one of the first mass produced Christmas cards published in 1843 for Henry Cole.
