Sunday, December 9               Cold, Stormy day.  Mamma is a little better.

Monday, December 10           The blizzard certainly fierce.  I walked to school this morning and the snow froze to my eyelashes.  You remember a long time ago the Hindenburg line was broken for several miles?

Tuesday, December 11           Snowed a bit today.  Jerusalem, which has been held by the Turks who are on the side with the Germans was captured by General Allen (British).  This is good news.  For Christmas we are practicing Old Mother Goose in Old Mother Goose’s Christmas.  The Germans are still being held back by the Italians in northern Italy and Bolshaviski has offered Germany a 3 month armistice!
