is going to be one of close companionship, sincere love and real
devotion.

Won't that make a great Christmas?

After all, you know, it usually takes some great and impend~
ing danger, 2 catastrophe accompanied by suffering, even "a stab
in the back", to make us count our blessings, quicken our appreci-
ation of others, realize how fortunate we really are.

Havpy I am to have a son and one who can and will answer his
country's call when the time comes. And I'm thrilled with the
complacency with which he views the situation, delighted with his
loyalty, determination and courage. Yes, he's a real American.

Happy, too, am I, and all of us here at C.B.C., that we live
in a country now thoroughly united and one engaged in a tremendous
and "all-out" struggle to fight aggression, to preserve our Ameri-~
can way of life, to make permanent and secure our individual lib-

erty and freedom.

And happy also are we to have such good friends and associ-
ates as you -- it makes our work so much more interesting, makes
the going much more pleasant, makes us rich indeed.

So in face of all the worry, the strife, the fear which ex-
ists throughout the world, in spite of the uncertainty as we view
it here at home, we are going to have "A Happy Christmas" both at
Glenmore, the Moore home, and at the school, too.

And all of us wish for you and yours this same kind of a
Yuletide, not the merriest, but the happiest in all your experi-
ence.

So this is our Christmas greeting this year and our sincere
wish here in the closing days of 1941.

 

Cordially yours,
Dooce.
