rp-.^"•»- - afternoon. The hoys cine in last night*It uwns a fearful 
trip out, hut it -Slacked up a little beferfeefiiey left, and with 
lots of slickers they got through fairly comfortably. By 11 o'clock 
they had a supper and were ready for hed. This morning they had an 
initiation into the Mail Order business. It ^as our pork day, and 
in addition we had to get out out' Xmas shipments. I tnink there 
were six big sacks of mail. It was an awful rush. There was a 
Chinook blowing, and the water was rising rapidly, and there was 
a chance that the carrier could not cross a stream if he waited 
till schedule time, so we worked like mad and got all those snip- 
Etents .packed, wrapped, weighed, stamped^ cancelled, &nd packed in 
the sacks, and the mail out a couple of hours earlier than usual. 
Today's shipment will bring us *62.00. Tomorrow we have to butcher 
a beef and Saturday a pig. You can judge that there is no time for 
mirth ot trifling here. The Madame ant I are resting agte. our 
labors, and the boys are out after the ducks. We were very glad 
that they were here on just such a day, as it givds them an idea 
how we have to hustle. I will now "lay down my pen«and call it 
off for thi : year. With best wishes for a Merry Xmas and a Happy 
and prosperous Hew Year, I am, 
Very faithfully yours. (Q
