the biggest turkey in your county,
and me here convalescing, hungry as
a wolf, and you never said turkey"
to me. You did'nt even offer me a
g'ass of butter milk and that is
about all they will let me have.
Well, | will wish you a Merry
Christmas, you aud your good wife
and all the members OF the family.
l have been very sick, and my
conv alescence is a little slow because
| have had so much work to do,
while lying fat on my back. Really
have succeeded in accomplishing
more since l have been sick, that l
did when 1 was we'll, bnt | am ex.
pecting to be able TO come down
your way before great while, SO
you might as well be giving a little
extra feed TO the "Buttermilk" COW.
A Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year to all.
Most cordial, yours,
" ID Powell.
