Dear Bessie:
I am a long time in answering your letter but time flies so it seems as though I never get a chance to do half the things I want to do.
My vacation during October was delightful. I don't know when I have enjoyed one so much. The weather was wonderful most of the time and I just lived out of doors. It seemed like summer.
I was sorry to hear that you had been feeling so badly when you first went to Mt. Holyoke and surely hope you are all right now. I shall be glad to hear that you are now orientated and feeling quite at home there.
Mother came down after election & we have been having quite a lot of company. Thanksgiving my sister and family were here & we are going over there for Xmas.
Remember me to you father & mother and let me hear from you again soon.
I hope you all have a wonderfully happy Xmas.
Love from
Aunt Emma
