Conner writes to Nueal that he will be sending her a Christmas card soon. He says that "it is not much but it is the best I can do they gave them to me so I will send them to you all." He tells Nueal he made his allotment of $40 that he will be sending to mom soon. Conner asks Nueal to tell B.J. "to tell all his hands I said a great big cherry Hello' and a merry Xmas and a happy new year to all back in old ala."
