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 have been very busy the last few weeks enlarging Leica pictures and seeing people, but we are certainly looking forward to getting back to Banff. I guess the time goes much faster for us than for anyone else, and I even think of “last winter” as the one skiing, and Honolulu as part of the summer. We were awfully glad to hear from you Papa, and will answer the letter soon. Loads of love,Catharine
