William Eason tells May Yancey how he is spending Christmas.

December 26, 1925

Dear May,

I recevid your token letter to day and was very glad to hear from you. We won the game Xmas eve but had to close up the Hall at 12 15 on account of fighting we had a very large crowd. On account of the fight we didn't play in Long Branch Christmas night, as we would have had a big fight. We are playing in Newark. New Years, afternoon. No, I didn't see your Brother since you left. I guess you got my card and my little token. No, I am having a very poor Christmas, as I haven't a job and didn't care too much for a great deal of things
