December 15. Yesterday we walked for an hour and a
half on the parade, and drove in the afternoon. It is very crowded and gay
here, and you see all the swell turnouts.
But I must cut this short, or you will be bored. Thanks for
your nice letter, received last week. I am delighted to know that you are so
nicely “fixed” for the winter. Agnes sends love to your wife, and says your
description of your cozy housekeeping just makes us want to go and do likewise.
Write me when you have time. Letters from home are a great treat, and
impatiently looked for from week to week.
With a merry Christmas and happy New Year, and with much
love from both to both, ever yours,
Frank B.
We shall be in Paris by New Year's.
