Sending them two pictures he "made some time ago"; acknowledging receipt of their Christmas letters and complimenting Gwennie's drawing; thanking them for the Christmas presents they sent to him; asking them to tell him what they would like from the United States, but cautioning that he "can't bring anything alive, but only toys"; adding that he cannot write more because his eyes ache.
