Dear Mark,

This is about the best Christmas present I can send you at present so you will have to make the best of it. I know you will need no help in spending it but just in case you do have trouble your mother will be glad to help you.

David and John are getting the same but if theirs should happen to become lost in the mail I know you would be glad to share yours with them.

No doubt but what you will have a big tree and everything that goes with it. You probably will get a kick out of helping Mother do the “fixing” of those things. Do have a good time – I’ll be thinking of you

Love Daddy
P.S. Give Mother my regards.
