Your letter & Elizabeth's arrived a few days ago, also the slickers and gloves and a great big fruit cake from Ellen, it was credit to anyone, we all enjoyed it very much. I was very sorry to hear about the barn burning down. It is a great loss at this state of the game. I certainly wish I was home to help a little. This war is just a big waste of everything.
