Thanks From Feves

Mrs. Norman Canfield has the translation of the letter from the priest Louis Holveck of Feves, France. Mrs. Canfield was chairman of the committee that made and shipped layettes. He thanked her many times. Four babies have arrived since the layettes came. The last, as an example, was born to a family where there were three children, 17, 13, and 2 years of age, living in two rooms. This is about the size of a home many have. The town has 270 inhabitants. Mr. Holveck has a friend who lived in Kansas City and has told them about what Kansas is like. The lack of money has retarded rebuilding of the town, but they are slowly repairing the damage as best they can.
