there. On Dec. 81, they were short

sent, and a copy of the Laurel Out
look. l surely was happy to get
them.
Today is Christmas. Our doctor
was Santa Claus last night and
gave each of us two packages which
had come from the Red Cross. The
Red Cross has been very good to
me.
There are eight of us in our
ward. One has an accordion and
plays it very we'll. We had a lovely
time singing Christmas carols. We
have exchanged addresses and next
Christmas we will send cards TO
each other in remembrance of the
lovely evening we had together.
was thinking a lot about home
and the rest of the people of Laurel,
and about my buddies back in the
company. We had a very good
Christmas dinner.
/ hope l see Conrad Frank.
