In full:

"Curiously Mrs. Coolidge and I were speaking of you [at] Christmas and wondering where you were. I was glad to get your letter and she will be too.
Our boys are at home now and Mr. & Mrs. Stearns are with us.
When you come to Washington you must let us known in advance so we can have you to break bread with us.
I am so pleased to know that your father and mother are well. A letter just came from my father saying he is well. He will be 79 next March.
With all the greetings of the season to you and your people…."
