Tex Crockett Writes Letter

Fitzsimons Branch, Denver, Color
ado, Jan. l 1925.
Mrs. Laura B. Starr, Cody, Wyo.
Dear Mrs. Starr
Another Christmas has come and
gone, and. as usual, l find myself
deeply indebted to you and the la
dies of the Auxiliary for a lot of
kindness, consideration and goodness
toward me, not to say anything a
bout the most useful of Christmas
presents. I wish you to feel and
know that l appreciate you ladies
just lots and lots, and l surely feel
thankful to you all for your thought
fulness at Christmas time.
l had a most wonderful Christmas.
You know, Mrs. Starr, this is the
first time in four years that l have
been able to take dinner out on that
day. After all those years in bed
with nothing more exciting to do than
lie flat on my back and count the
fly specks on the ceiling, it was some
occasion for me to be able to real
up on my wi hind legs and step out
to the home of a friend for Christmas
dinner. 1t surely seemed good to sit
up to a good old style dinner again;
to eat ono more from an upright po-
sition and to see again the world
with my W eyes, instead of having
to take some one else's word for the
way it looks. Gee, but it is a big
old world out there! 1t surely has
grown since l saw it the last time.
Here's wishing you all a prosper
Gus year during 1925 and thruout the
years to follow. l am,
Gratefully yours,
TEX CROCKETT.
