Dearest Mother:

After a very nice meal of Roast Turkey, Sage Dressing, Marble cake, hard candy. Fresh carrot strips, raisin bread and butter with coffee to drink.  The turkey was much better than usual since it was a little more moist and juicy.  In all we are quite full.

Kupfer and myself have been sitting here this afternoon discussing old times at Dodd Field etc.  It does me good to return here every once in a while but not for too long at a time.

Received a very nice box from Mrs. Kinsfather last evening as quite a surprise.

Well this is about all for now. Have wondered what you were doing today several times.  Did you have a tree this year? All for now.

All my love,

Stanley
