C.-Dec. 21, 1922, Dear Friends at Home: I now take pleasure in dropping you a | few lines to tell you how we are making | out on oue trip. I cannot describe the roads we have traveled over in Virgini and the first part of North Carolina. We traveled 15 miles through a red hub deep, could not keep the cars in the road. So after traveling 56 miles we concluded to camp; so we found a schoolhouse, with a nice well, etc., and will stay here [for 2 day or two. I feel sorry for some of the people I have seen and been told about. There are six or geven families stuck in the mud six miles from us, with | no funds to help themselves. Friday, Dec. 22. 1922. Today the sun iz shining fine, with the mercury at 50, and quite warm. We stay here today so the roads can dry up some. Will leave for Durham, N. C., early Sat- | urday morning. = We almost lost our house driver. “SI” Young. He went look- ing for a wild turkey for Christmas and got stuck in the mud. After locating him we threw him a line an@ hooked “Mike” on him (we have named our house on wheels “Mfke”) and drew him ashore. Chauncey Robie is almost blind looking for a nice &ow. We haven't seen a cow worth $20 since we left Pachaug. The peonle here are very fine, and very kind to peole traveling as we are. We are all in the best of heath. We are going slowly and lookinz the country over. I wouldn't pay the taxes on oIl the zround we have seen since leaving Phila- delnhia. We can't tell yet when we will arrive in Jaclsonville. We all whh everybody back home in Pachaug and _Jewett City a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Yours as ever. W. S. CHRISTOPHER AND PARTY.
