|ceived all you have sent up to the
box with the razor blades in il.
/; Everything has kept just fine so
far, especially the jelly.
i No, am quite near Y. M. G.

more shows and then am too
/, busy To- go there very much.
1 ! didn't get to go to church this
morning but | am going tonight
ito the Salvation Army. The serv-
ices start at 6 O'Clock.

hard tack at ALL We have bak-
cries which give us nice white
bread every day.
You may send me some home
made fudge, or tarfy candy, and
do not send any more little cigars
because they are too dopey.
| lost my little eearchlight, so
do not send any more batteries. I
bought one in France so | can
buy the batteries here.
You might send me a few kodak
pictures of yourselves and the old
home place, so won't get so
lonesome for you.
! Now mother, do not send me
