[unclear] Hospital Wed. Dec. 8/17
My dear Fan -
I received your letter this morning and I certainly was glad to get it. It certainly was a fine long letter and you seem to be having quite a fine time in Toronto. I am glad that you are well and sorry to hear that Frank has a cold, but hope that it will be better soon.
I am feeling much better now and am up and around. My rheumatism is bad some days but as long as I keep warm it does not bother me much.
I have had a fairly good time this Christmas and New Years considering the circumstances. A good many of the fellows in France certainly must have had worse. The people around here tried to give us a good time and we had concerts, dances, and card parties. I have not met many people because not many

people call here.
Mrs. Lowe the lady who represents the Can Red Cross has been very nice to me and I have been at her house two or three times. She certainly has a grand place and I wish you could see it. She gave us the finest Christmas box. It must have cost her $5.00 each. She is always sending down flowers or something. The husband is a manufacturing chemist. I am going to try and get a day in Manchester. I went to the "movies" yesterday with the matron's cousin and saw Mary P. in "Such a little Queen". It certainly was fine.
Well Fannie I think I will close for now and write me often. Best love to Frank and all the other people in Toronto and yourself.
Your loving Brother Ted.
