Letter from Eliza A. Fisher to Ann F. Fisher, etc., Dec. 26, 1875

High Point Dec. 26th 1875.

My dear Mother, Sister and Brothers,

As you see from date I am once more at home, came yesterday, found Grandma better than I expected and of course very glad to see me.

How can I thank you in words for the delightful surprise which awaited me in the shape of presents so beautiful and so exactly what I wished. If you have received my last letter you know that the Christmas tree at Tyro was the cause of my not returning

as soon as I expected, so I was not here Christmas eve to see the tree at the Seminary but Mr. [S?]. Willis kindly took charge of my share of the fruit; and a lion's share I think it must have been.

From a full heart I thank you for these gifts, but far more for the thoughtful love which prompted them.

May He who withheld not the "unspeakable["] gift send you all a "Happy New Year."

Ever with love Yours, Eliza
