Again we come to you with our
heart full of gratitude and thanks for
the beautiful manner i'll which you
honored US on Thanksgiving day. This
is a beautiful custom you have, and
we assure you that every old veteran
appreciates and loves you for your
kindness and patriotism. The dinner
was simply grand, could not have been
bettre, and we all went home feeling
satisfied and happy. We enjoyed hav-
ing the pastors of the town with US
and we think they enjoyed being with
US. One old veteran, 80 years old,
rode horseback Is miles to be with us,
not so much for the dinner, but more
on account of the cherished motives
that prompted you dear ladies to re-
member US. Again we thank you.
