BR thanks Tylor for his letter and sending him the draft order, and addresses Tylor's concern arising from the draft order stating, "... it does not matter in the least to us whether the children have to spend the first ten days or the last with Dora this coming Christmas. It would be nice if they could choose for themselves, but since they must alternate between us, they might as well go to Dora for the beginning of the Christmas holidays as not." BR discusses this in accordance with the children's summer holidays.
