I got a good many china animals for Christmas, and now I have
forty-one altogether. Sophie and Horace, two of my school-mates,
have one hundred and fifty-one; Sophie has only fifteen of them,
though. I got a lovely coaster for Christmas, and I want to use it
very much. There is about an inch of snow on the ground now, but
not enough for coasting; there has not been deep snow on the ground
all winter. In my letter I send a dollar for the Young People's
Cot. Our tree was just taken down to-day, and the room where it was
looks all bare to me.
