Merry Christmas from Mrs. Mitchell's 5th Grade class at Glendale Elementary Class!

Here is a letter Harry wrote to Bess joking about trying to do his Christmas shopping.

       Sunday, December 5, 1937
       A letter to Bess from Harry.

       What do you want for Christmas? - a feather bed or a potato peeler? Maybe
       you'd like a washing machine or just a plain tub and washboard.

       Margaret told me you had taken her list away from her and it made her head
       ache to create another. What does she want?

       Love to you both,
       Harry
