Christmas gift cards and Easter Greeting

7 Notes in all

They are tiny pieces of paper found inside an envelope titled:

To Mrs. Helen. M. Caine
From Walter

As a reward of merit for not applying for the big organ at the church, please resue this organ.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
First side: Walter Neff
Back side: Merry Christmas.
To dearest
From Walter.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

For Dearest---
Oh! Can it be a bonnet?
If it is, why, dearest, don it?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

For Dearest
With love from Walter + Anna (put not your faith in the size of the box!)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's something for Dearest--
Only cast your eye through the hole in the top.
And wonders you will spy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


For Dearest--
(To see to mend our stockings by)
Walter + Anna
----------------------------------------------------------------------

For Dearest--
(To keep Walter's little stockings in)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Walter and Dearest--
Easter Greetings!
(Other side of note)
At last, I'm thinking, there’s nothing to "tender",
You’re having a chicken that's young and tender.
To seize 'pon this birdie and fall to with zeal.
And (if you're not hungry) he'll make a square meal.

(Written in small text at bottom)
This was on the table Easter morning with the chicken--the ugliest one I ever saw. Please----
