Dear friends,

In a way I feel guilty for waiting so long to acknowledge the receipt of your Christmas gift.

I received it two days ago. Not knowing most of you, and having you remember me, is the reason I should have written sooner. I only wish that there were more that I could do--rather than a mere letter--to show my sincerest thanks and appreciation.

It is a little late to wish each of you a Merry Christmas, but I do hope that the New Year will have cheer and joy for all of you.

Once again--thanks a million for your gift.

Sincerely,
Bill Cain

Dear Miss Blaney;

I was wondering if you would please do me a favor by sending me a copy of the “Bryant Year Book”. I am entitled to a copy, and I would appreciate it if you would forward it to me. Here’s hoping that I will hear from you soon.

Respectfully

Dear Miss Blaney,
Bryant Service Club,

For once in my life I am at a loss for words.

I received your much appreciated Christmas gift and greetings, and though they traveled in a roundabout way they both reached me safe and sound. It happened that I was just running out of cigaretts at the time they arrived, so you can realize that I am grateful in more ways than one.

At present I am stationed here in Chanute for schooling in the field of Teletype operation and admistration [sic]. At present, all I have to say for the course is that it is intensified and interesting.

Thanks again for your thoughtfullness [sic], your kindness, and present.

Respectfully
Bill Cain
