Description: Christmas card. A man in a grey suit, holds a camera, a woman in a green dress carries three suitcases. Both figures are walking on a globe.Across bottom it reads: MERRY CHRISTMAS/ HAPPY NEW YEARbottom right: Peter Whyteverso: handwritten in Catharine’s cursive: A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you both!

We were awfully glad to hear from you Papa, and will answer the letter soon. Loads of love,Catharine
