We are healthy here and the weather is nice and mild. We had two or three snowfalls, but the sun always melted it away. The nice weather saves the farmer on fodder and fuel.

Last week, my brother Johannes bought five horses for $600, three workhorses, a two-year-old and a yearling foal, and so he will farm his own land next year. Brother Johannes, brother-in-law Michael Engel and I were in the bush hunting recently. We left at sunrise and came home by noon with 87 rabbits. We enjoy this kind of hunting here!

Peter Götz and family arrived here in Maple Creek happy and healthy.

(*Publisher: We have received the request and payment for a subscription for your mother-in-law in Colelia, Rumania. The paper and wall maps will be mailed promptly. The end of the story was in Issue #17 and we mailed it to you, as well.)

I am already in my second year as a reader and hope that my mother-in-law will get much joy from the paper. I love all the news from all over the world and the interesting articles. Thank you for all the joy you bring us, Mr. Publisher Brandt!

All the best for the holidays to all our friends and family, and the readers of the paper, especially to my mother-in-law, the brother-in-law and family in Colelia, Rumania! May the publication gain a thousand new readers!

Sincerely,
L. Kosolofski
