Kind Sir



I received the elegant Christmas present which you sent me.  You could have given me nothing that would be appreciated like the result of your own labor.  I am sorry to lear that you are ill, and that I cannot at this time make acknowledgment.



I wish you speedy recovery and a happy New Year.



Yours with thanks,

Earl Douglass
