soon as they < [hear?] > I am married all is finished Well I am living in hopes that all will be alright yet. I am sending you a few amature made Xmas cards as here they onl do not have Xmas cards, we are getting hotter weather every day for in South America Xmas is midsummer and Jully is winter September Oct. is Spring and May & June is Autumn so you see it is just the reverse here. Here in Brazil it is funny for one American dollar you get 3,850 Reis the smallets coin being 20 Reis wich is very seldom seen the smallest in general use is 100 Reis There fore for 20 dollars you get 76000 Reis it sounds a lot but really is nothing money spends itself very quickly here every thing being very expensive we pay 8.000 Reis a day for Room and Bord our hotel is very nice but cheaper ones cost just as much. Well my dear friends I suppose you are sick and tired of my woes and troubles and invite me to finish my letter as I will. I sincerely hope you are having better times and you are feeling better.

Always with Love and Kisses and Wishing you both al very Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year. Your Friend
