My Sweetheart,

I want to wish you a very happy Christmas and may all good things come your way and be yours in the coming new year. We are leaving for the front to-night at eleven o’clock where the President is to spend Christmas Day with the soldiers. It will not be much like Christmas to me away from you and Gordon. But I am not complaining for I have so much to be profoundly thankful for. This has been another busy day. I apologize for writing you such poor letters. The opportunity during the day is most unpropititious for writing—and you can imagine how my brain is at night. Then, the most interesting things I can not write in these days of censures and poor mail facilities—I saw Sam Blythe this evening. He is sailing for home to-morrow. It made me feel queer and homesick to see him leaving for Washington. He has been over here eight months.

My friends the newspaper men have arrived for the Evening Conference and we leave for the train in a little while, so I must say good-night, my darling and May God bless you and Gordon—my precious ones.
