This is a bag from Paris4, but I carried it only twice. I like the old fashioned sort that hang from a strap! The colors in it are pretty, and I thought you might like it. I am putting five dollars in it for Christmas treats. This year I'm not shopping for the young, but I sent seven Christmas boxes to old women on Nebraska5 farms—one of them being your Aunt Bessie6.
A Merry Christmas to you, my dear. W. S. C. Virginia1 VIRTUS NON STEMMA The Grosvenor 35 FIFTH AVENUE New York
