Dear old Charles,

First I want to thank you for your kindness in remembering me with a Christmas card; I appreciate it very much, and my Christmas stock took a decided jump above par when I received a remembrance from a friend of those good old days which we can not forget. I, alas, received a card from Colonel(?) Lyell A. Chapman (Chappy), as you may know he has undertaken that burden of [keeping - crossed out] taking a wife. Also a card from C. Orear.

Northing of particular importance has happened to me since I last wrote you. I am again back in college grinding away at Economics, and hope to hell to graduate next year (however it is impossible) and get out and make my fortune.

I have lost touch with Capt. Gansser and crabby old Martin but suppose Gansser is puffing away on a Cinco cigar in his Grand Rapids law office, and Major Martin crabbing and damning everything from the Stars and Stripes to the ground under his feet.
