Dear Marguerite

Some of the letters you & Don wrote in Oct came last night with the peice of your dress & Stanley & your drawings of the two girls they are well done Dons letter I think was the first one he wrote & it was a good one. that maple leave looks great from the land of the dandy hills & valleys & Stately Maple trees Mothers letter telling the contents of the first box came also if Grandma has any cooking to keep from spoiling she knows were to put it the boxes have not arrived yet you talk about one with a comb in & one before that one neither have come you should see our little pieces for three times a day wish our folks had thought more about that. if Mother sends any adress it her self then I will know who it is from they get knocked about so much you can not see where they come from & I did not think any one would send white sox unless it would be Agnes's they do not stay white long out here. she said she was knitting things & they were so large like a new beginers. We will be out in a day or so for few days the boxes will come in a good time we have no chance of making cocoa while in. some of the fellows in Willies Batt paid fritz a visit & no one around
