One letter from Edith Hutton and Bertha Hutton to Leonard Eugene Graeff dated January 1, 1944. Edith recaps the Christmas gifts that her and her two siblings received this year. Bertha writes that she was sorry he didn't have time to visit this Christmas, but as Edith said there wasn't a lot of gifts this year. She mentions that toys were hard to come by but everyone had a good time anyway. She had a letter from Jessie and one from Viola. Both of their families are doing well. Floyd, Viola's son, is home from school sick with a cold but seems to be doing better.
