Left leaf — handwritten message

I’m thinking of you so often —

and of others Christmas days — / with their memories,

Still we should say “A Happy Christmas” for those who are Christians — It means the Dawn of a New Day & a promise of re-union and Son Eternal

Always affect, Mary Fuller Hall

Right leaf — printed greeting

With Best Wishes

for a

Very Happy Christmas.

AI Notes

Inside of a Christmas card mounted open on the album page. The left leaf carries a handwritten message in blue ink, written sideways (perpendicular) relative to the printed greeting; the right leaf carries the printed greeting ‘With Best Wishes for a Very Happy Christmas.’ Signed at the foot of the handwritten note: ‘Always affect, Mary Fuller Hall.’ Transcription pass: rotated 90° to read the perpendicular handwriting at full resolution; corrected ‘I means’ → ‘It means’ and noted struck-through ‘those’.
