most enjoyable evening when we

received a regular Prize Packet. During

the afternoon a party of men we told

of to get the Theatre ready & then every

man had to pay one Anna towards the

lamps. Then we took our Piano in the

theatre for which every man has to pay

2 Annas per week & then they had the

impertinance to charge us 4 Annas for

admission, if this is not keeping a dog

and Barking yourself I don’t quite

know what is. To day I think I have

recieved the most letters & correspondence

at once that I have ever received. By

to days mail I got five letters & one

newspaper I got news & Christmas Cards

from all old & Dear Friends in

England & also a Christmas card from

Pa & Ma which I shall always keep

& a remembrance of the Xmas I

spent in Burmah.
