December 8 Sunday – Livy, Susy and Sam wrote from Munich to Olivia Lewis Langdon. Most of the letter is from Livy to her mother, whom she’d only received one letter from since they left home. Livy wrote of sore throats and ear aches, Clara Spaulding and Christmas gifts. What her mother had sent was too much, Livy wrote (several times during the trip her mother sent money). Sam wrote about Santa Claus and the girls “Susie thinks her teacher is so pretty because ‘her face is so becoming to her.’” [MTLE 3: 108-111].
