Thanks very much for them.
We are having nice weather

metie, Civics, Language and Spell
in*,'
There was a boy here by the
name of Ronald Gascoyn, who
was in the eighth grade too.

grade here, he started to nigh
School.
We have manual training
and make all kinds of toys
Wnen we have lots of toys we

different parts of Alaska.

Dear friends:
We all thank you for the
things you sent. 1 have read
your letters and learned some of
the things you do. I am going
to tell you about what we do
here some of the time.
I am in bed on a frame. A
frame is made of a pipe frame
work shaped like a very narrow
bed covered with canvas, i have
been hero three years and am
quite a bit better now.
We have School here and I
am in the eighth grade. There
was a boy that graduated a lew
months ago. He got his certific
ate from the Superintendent of
Schools. He goes to Higli School
now.
We have manual training and |
make toys, baskets, tilings of j
leather, and other tilings which
we sell to buy material to make |
other things.
We go outside almost every
day in our beds. Sometimes
bands come up here and the
circus comes twice a year. I
have a radio and we get music
and the news every day.
I am quite interested in
Alaska because my father is up
there almost all of the time. He
lias a halibut schooner named
Scandia. He goes in places up
there to sell his fish.

her of grades to teach. We had
i taster vacation two weeks ago.
I live in Walla Walla, Wash
ington. All the tulips, lilacs, and
wild flowers are in bloom. The
robins and other birds are back
again.
In the summertime at home
we have a lot of fun bathing in
lakes, going on hikes, picnics
and in many other ways.
In tlie winter we have
snow. Not as much as in Alaska;
but enough to play in.
I have known a number of
children from Alaska here at
the hospital, and I have been int
erested in Alaska because of
them.
Hoping to hear from you
soon.
