Friday Night.

Dear Folks:

At last I am getting a few words off to you to-night.  Last evening I intended to but was so tired that I went to bed rather early instead.  My lady is alternatively singing, "Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do," and talking to me a blue streak.  She has been in since I started this last sentence to show me a night gown her soldier nephew sent her.

he gets ever so little a piece.  One day he did some little thing B. did not want him to and so she told him that Santa Clause would see him.  He thought a moment and then said, "Why does Santa snook so?"  And the night we all went up to Theodore's father's for supper he was in bed and we heard him talking to Rose, "They will all be togither but me."

He sits back rather than bent and steers around tables and chairs without ever bumping into them.  I will tell  you more if you want to hear when I see you.

I hope you had a very pleasant Thanksgiving.  I will hear about it later.

I have not fully decided but think it probable I shall not be out this weekend.  I have been fighting a cold and think perhaps I had better not come out this week.

Love, Lena.
