The poem:
For my dear Mamma.
Christmas.
Tsarskoe-Selo 1906.
Christmas Greetings.
W. Manning.
There is kindness in the very name of Christmas,
There is joy in every clang of merry bells;
There is peace on every hand, on sea, and over land,
And good-will in every wish of "glad Noels"
There is little in the words that I am saying.
But the wish that they convey is most sincere
May your Christmas Day be bright, and your troubles ever light,
And joy attend you through the coming Year.
Olga.

I thank you so very much for your dear gifts, my doll & dress. And for the cute card and the blouse with the fashionable flowery decor.
Your loving
