December 29, 1941. Mrs. Deane #. Malott, Lilac Lane, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Hrs. Malotts We are sending you a little memento of the trip our basketball team made last winter. I am sure that Bob may enjoy browsing through it. We recall that the morning we left on the trip Rast you and your family were at the station bidding Dean Lawson good=by, and it happened that the boys thought you were there to see them off. We just let it go at that and allowed them to retain that thought. This prompted us to send you the booklet. i trust that the water gets more plentiful in the pond south of the hill and that the weather gets a little more frigid so that the children will have an opportunity te use their skates. Wishing you end your family health, prosperity and happiness in the New Year, I am . Very sincerely yours, .

Alien, Lawrence, Kansas, Dear Friend: Christmas greetings again! And let it not be "a merry Christmas" but "A Happy Christmas" this year. Get the difference? Was it not "happiness" rather than "merriment" which Jesus brought to a troubled world? And was it not love, happiness and devotion he sought in the home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus? And was it not happiness that he brought into that humble Judean home a little less than two thousand years ago? Yes, this is a serious Christmas which we face this year but let it not be a Christmas "black-out". We should make it, must make it "A Happy Christmas". Won't you help make it so? Our local minister made a statement last Sunday which has haunted me all week -- it was this, referring to our Christmas service this coming Sunday: “IT MAY BE DIFFERENT NEXT YEAR. WE MAY NOT HAVE SUCH A CHRISTMAS THEN AS NOW." Doesn't this put one to thinking? Doesn't it make you shud- der? I tell you, this war situation comes mighty close home to me with my one and only son just past eighteen. He's coming home this week end from his first year away at college. How anxious I am to see him and be with him. Yes, the girls are coming home, too. They also will add a lot to our Christmas, but Christmas this year is going to find Allen III foremost in my thoughts, going to find that bond of father and son drawn much closer, going to give him and me a greater appreciation one for the other. With the whole family, though, here in the Moore household, Christmas this year is going to be one of close companionship, sincere love and real devotion. Won't that make a great Christmas? After all, you know, it usually takes some great and impend~ ing danger, 2 catastrophe accompanied by suffering, even "a stab in the back", to make us count our blessings, quicken our appreci- ation of others, realize how fortunate we really are. Havpy I am to have a son and one who can and will answer his country's call when the time comes. And I'm thrilled with the complacency with which he views the situation, delighted with his loyalty, determination and courage. Yes, he's a real American. Happy, too, am I, and all of us here at C.B.C., that we live in a country now thoroughly united and one engaged in a tremendous and "all-out" struggle to fight aggression, to preserve our Ameri-~ can way of life, to make permanent and secure our individual lib- erty and freedom. And happy also are we to have such good friends and associ- ates as you -- it makes our work so much more interesting, makes the going much more pleasant, makes us rich indeed. So in face of all the worry, the strife, the fear which ex- ists throughout the world, in spite of the uncertainty as we view it here at home, we are going to have "A Happy Christmas" both at Glenmore, the Moore home, and at the school, too. And all of us wish for you and yours this same kind of a Yuletide, not the merriest, but the happiest in all your experi- ence. So this is our Christmas greeting this year and our sincere wish here in the closing days of 1941. Cordially yours, Dooce. A116 Worey-ZFeai dent Chillicothe Business College December 27, 1941.

I know that you will miss his picture and it is for that reason that I am explaining: to you why it was not included in the group. However, I think his writings are very clever and I know thet you and ifr.

No doubt, you have been thinking, "I wish I could find a gift for her that is unusual and beautiful." Well, here is your solution, I helped Fritzi for over a week this summer select the Christmas things for the shop and Dad said the sky is the limit and believe me we selected the nicest things that have ever been shown in Lawrence.
