Abstract:
Birthday wishes and thoughts on a recent Christmas. Compares expensive hotels in California and notes an upcoming trip to Ojai. "… I think in this age of progress the day is not far distant when we may by flashlight or some such means look upon our absent friends as we now talk with them and recognize their voices." Describes where she is staying in Miramar, near Santa Barbara, noting local flowers and scenery, the house and its amenities. Includes a note, likely to Christine's children, describing a visit to an ostrich farm in Pasadena. Envelope addressed to "Mrs. Rockwood Hoar... Worcester, Massachusetts." Note: The "little Sweethearts" are most likely Frances Helen Hoar, b. 1895, and Louisa Ruth Hoar, b. 1898, which suggests that this letter dates after 1898.
