Della's Journal - Christmas Cards Received

This is Installment 54 of the Journal of Della (Smith) Carringer (1862-1944), my great-grandmother, who resided at 2115 30th Street in San Diego in 1929.The "players" and "setting" are described here.

Pictures of some of the players are here. Last week's Journal entry is here.

Included in Della's 1929 Journal are lists of Christmas cards received in 1928, 1929 and 1930. I have transcribed them below:
