Vohw. d. 22.XII.15.

Dear Pepp!
Ha!, today it was an amusement!!
All afternoon long from 13:30
until 18:30 I rode sled
you won`t believe how nice it
was! - Because here it snowed a lot
and it got pretty icy. When I
came out of school and had eaten
I fetched one, two, three the sled
from the cellar and swished out
and looked for tracks, I tested
them one after another where it
went best and thought it
swished best on Friedrich Street.
There I arrived at a nice
adress! When I was merrily sweeping
a boy came behind me
hold me, scrubbed me and
gave me a nudge so that I toppled.

I said: "They are well mannered!"
Mr. Leonhard came behind me
and said: "You are right,
they are such raw rascals, yesterday
a boy toppled my hat away."
A boy came running
and said while showing
his glove: "Is this
yours, Mr. ___...?" He
answered "Yes, the kids are
at least useful for something
But every week I loose a
pair of gloves!"-- Then
the boys went home and
I really had fun.- I already
am very excited about
the day after tomorrow
because it is Holy Night and
we will get our presents! I
almost forgot to congratulate
you for Christmas.

So I wish you a merry
Christmas and congratulate you
for your birthday at the same time.

Best wishes and thick
kisses from your daughter

Trude
