Dear Sis,
I am sending you a small Christmas gift. I hope you will like it. I know that you do not expect much from me but someday I am going to give you a much larger gift.
I am getting along fine in school work and in other things.
You never mention Cecil's (Mamie's husband) name in your letters. I would certainly like to see him. I'll bet he is a good sport. I would like to take him possum hunting with me sometime, and also I would like to go duck hunting with him.
Sunday I got Uncle Jesse's (Manning's brother) car and went to Cedar Mountain and got us a pretty Christmas tree.
I am 14 years old now and this summer I want to get me a job in the print shop at "The Comanche Chief" (Comanche County newspaper) I would like to learn the business. I think you will not find many misspelled words in this letter. I can spell but can't write so good.
Love
Thurston R. Atwood
