5 December 1938

Dear Jean:

By the time you receive this it will be pretty close to Christmas. I hope you are studying as hard as you can. Grade X is no easy grade - in fact I think it's the hardest.

I am sending you $10 and Ronny $5 for Christmas - perhaps you had better buy Ronny some skates and teach him.

Beautiful weather here but I hope you have snow for Christmas. I hear New York is 26o below even now.

Love Bill
