I received your Christmas pack
age yesterday, and was sure glad to

mile drive yesterday and when I
returned the package was at my
bed. I opened it and passed it
around among the fellows. It was
fine and the fellows, all praised the
contents. We finished the whole
package right then and there. I
was out yesterday and I can tell you
it was cold, and nearly froze my
nose, there was about three inches
of snow fell.
We sure had some feed here
Christmas, beef steak, fish. cake,
buttered bread, pickles, tea. choco
late, cigarettes cigars package of
tobacco and lemon drops. I think
that was great, don't you?
I am writing this in a Frerlcli
home, and trying to talk French at
the same time. It sure is a hard
language to learn. They have a
canary bird and this morning when
the Mrs. went to feed the bird,
their cat had got after it and sure
