Dear Arthur

I hope you are getting better. Are you able to eat your chocolate that the men gave you at the camp yet.

I sang the verses of tipperary at the concert and Harry and Johnnie where to join in the chorus but Jonnie was to sleepy. And Harry and I had to sing it alone.

We didn't have a christmas tree but the concert was just as nice.

Mrs. Appleton sliped and fell down the seller. Lance was just coming out of our kitchen door and he said something must be the matter.

There is lots of snow here to. I haven't much room so good-by love from your brother

Joe
