The letter:

Dec 30th 1882
Dearest Grandmama
I send by the messinger a small white Comforter and I hope, dearest Grandmama, You will pardon the delay. I work so badly that we feared I could do nothing nice enough to send You but another time I will try to do better.

Sisters are going to-night to a Dance and Uncle Alexander's.

All desire much love to You and dear Auntie, and with many kisses,
I am, dearest Grandmama,
Your most loving and dutiful child
Alix
