Manila, P.I.
Nov. 26/98

Dear Cressie,

Just a few lines this morning to let you know that I am in continued good health. Recruits arrived in harbor 23 and were landed yesterday - Thanksgiving Day - just after noon. Our Co. had eaten its dinner , but had reserved and kept hot dinner for the recruits who were expected some time in the P.M.

I got yours of July 12th which was carried to me by Father Agee. Also one from Emmet. All well.--

Suppose you have rec'd. trunk[?] *somethin* this. You will receive several other longer letters from me, in this same mail I think.

Merry Xmas & Happy New Year.
Your Loving Husband
F. B. Hamlin--
