Mississippi river from its northern
boa ders to the Gulf of Mexico, adding
it's share toward making this one of
the most extraordinary winters of med

The present cold wave, however, is
not expected to be of long duration as
there is indication of moderation in
the lake region and Ohio valley to-
mid-Atlantic states tomorrow and in
the Atlantic coast districts Thursday.

Ice blockades in the harbor have
hindered the progress of coal barges
from tide water. Distribution of the
first allotment for coal tickets was
made today. These tickets serve as
priority orders for 100 pounds of coal
each, and dealers who declined to
honor them are subject to immediate

My dear friend-I just received
your letter few days ago and have
just found time to answer it
or so that / have Just found little
spare time. I got my first day off the
the other day, but l never thought
about anything but sleep
Your letter caught me in the best
OF health and also the rest of the boys
in my battery. received q letter also
from Mrs Pestana the same day
received yours, was very glad to get
both of them.
Well as far as news Is concerned
don't know very much.
It has been pretty rainy here the
last few days, and is a little bit cooler
now,it hasn't got very hot here, not
near as hot as 1t gets in Kansas. But
for mud it Is worse, although they
have the best of roads here and the
water drains off very quickly, so moth
ing can keep these busy people from
working.
I received a letter from my sister,
she said that her husband said that
the wheat on Cochran's ranch viii
make thirty bushels to the acre. 1
sure was glad to hear that, and only
wish all the wheat would turn out
that way
Well it is just about time for US
to eat so viii have to close for mess
is the only call we have to stand and
guess the boys are all willing to do
that, so will say good bye for this
time VIII try and write more the
next time. From you friend,
