4 pp. Dec 1979 Letter from Patricia Tweedy to Hoyle Foust, 1979-12 Dec 1979 Dear Hoyle,

Couldn't help but think of you this morning. Went to a "coffee morning" at an Irish neighbor's home + she served lemon meringue pie w/ coffee + tea. It was delicious.

We hung some family pictures in the hall upstairs (incl the bank one you gave us) + Jonathan goes bananas everytime I carry him by them. He's a busy fellow - has picked up one of Phillip's bad habits - jumping on the bed! That will less nerve-wracking when he learns to watch out for the edges.

We have been very chilly this week. Edw bought some peat briquets to use w/ the coal in the fireplace. Fires are really nice late at night when the furnace has cut off.

Hope your Xmas gifts get there - incl one for Pam + a nightgown for Bet also.

Edw says hurry + get your passport so you can come to visit us! I second that idea.

Need to get this in the mail w Xmas cards going over.

NoTake care Love, Pat
