is settling down for the winter so I hope that they leave us alone and Fritz doesn't get funny and try to drive us away.

I have one of the Allemandes skull caps that I will send to you as a souvenir we are not allowed to send very much but no would object to a skull cap.

The winter has set in for good now and there is mud over every thing as per, the slickers certainly came in mighty useful but even with a good one you can not expect to keep dry
