Your [conscientious?] attention to duty and your cheerful smile and sweet disposition are good to have around. You do us all good just to see you. You keep us out of the "dumps". ($5.00 gold coin) This little coin is not much and certainly does not express our appreciation [appreciation] adequately, but it is just a Xmas token to say Merry Xmas and Happy New Year. We wish you and your husband the best of everything for 1928. Your friends Mr. and Mrs. Jolly." [BACK] "1927" is written in blue ink, upper right corner.
