Dear Cousin Mattie,
This Christmas night is not we hoped and expected is it. I have thought of you and of Laura all day and the dear old times when we were all together that Thanksgiving day in Raleigh! This Christmas day must be to Laura such a glorious Thanks-giving. No more pain. No more sorrow- for her, but for us what a difference.
It seemed impossible to me to realize that our Laura can be anything but the brightest and liveliest and really she is not different. Tis only we who are sad this Christmas. You-Oh boy Matt. I'm so sorry for you. I know so well how you loved Laura and what reason you had to love her. What a help she was to you when you most needed her. I suffered her work must be exuded here. Maybe God wants her to sing for him.
I can't say anything to comfort you. There's nothing to say. Only I loved her too and I think of her and of you so often. We will ? make our visit together. ? I hope we will all meet some day and that will be so much nicer. I'm afraid with your nursing and ? you mush be worn out. Do take care of yourself. You have dear sweet children at home. Etta is much the Laura in many years and the dear child will help you all she can. I'm sure.
Kiss the dear little baby for me. I hope it will be live its mother. I can't write any more. Wanted you to know that I thought of you and love you.
Lovingly,
Julia Wiswall
