Writes to his son that at times he becomes discouraged not knowing what the coming season will bring. The days are short, the sun rises at 9:30 am and sets at 1:45 pm. "The camp is quite civilized this winter compared to last…" The Editor of the "Nome News" stated that this Thanksgiving there was turkey and mince pies, and last Thanksgiving there was beans and rice. This year there were dress suits and "decollette dresses" at a dance, and last year there were overalls and parkas. There is a school there with 2 teachers and 50 pupils.
