I got two packages and a letter today. Dad sent me some food, a furry vest, some bath sponges, and some playing cards. My sister sent me some jewelry, a shirt, and best of all - three books. What a treasure! Mom sent me the letter. 


The firemen aren’t coming for supper or any more meals. They’re moving camp and picked up their chairs and tables from where they’d been eating here.

​The kids got restless during Robert’s talk. When he went out the door, it was like the dam broke. The kids burst into activity and noise. More than once, they had to be told to turn down the TV, stop shouting, etc. We were inside because it was cold and raining.
