If the sleighing is good couldnt you send in the sleigh on Wednesday before the day before christmas with a load of wood and take Frank and I out after 6 o.c. Wednesday night -
As the weather is warm we shall not get the turkeys to send out till tuesday by the stage - I say we as Frank is going to make the market men give him good ones cheap. - If you will send in the sleigh let us know by uncle will on Monday and will not send the turkey till then. We intend to go out by the cans on Christmas morning unless the road should be blocked up by snow, in which case we might go out by bus on wednesday unless you sent for us - In Haste Bob
Uncle Asa says "we will go out if we are well" we will.
