Discuss the difference in the Christmas celebration in Holland--celebrated on December 5 and 6, the birthday of St. Nicholas an ancient Catholic priest--different customs--such as a great amount of hand shaking--uniforms worn by maids, and the sights of the city. December 29, 1898 - Rotterdam, Holland, to (Salt Lake City); Thatcher, Guy and Flody, to George and Nell (Thatcher Blair). An answer to a letter and thank you for Christmas remembrances. Philosophizes by saying that no one makes progress when they are in a rut, for all the energy is spent trying to get out or in fear of falling, etc. September 8, 1899 - Salt Lake City to (Rotterdam, Holland); (Blair), Nell, to Dear Guy (Thatcher). Family letter congratulating him in his birthday and on their great missionary effort. October 31, 1909 - Rotterdam, Holland, to (Salt Lake City); (Thatcher), Guy, to Dear Ilka (Nellie Thatcher Blair). After ten years, they are once again in the mission field.
