Christmas Card Newsletter From Williamsburg Family
The Traberts of Williamsburg plan a yearly Christmas card with a home town news letter. One hundred cards were mailed to friends in twenty states, featuring a winter scene and updates on Harry Hal and Dessa, their home, the 1885 school replacement, and a new city water system. The letter notes long distant correspondences and visits from relatives, concluding with well wishes for 1959.
