December 25th, 1918. THIS IS SHANLEY THIS IS FURNESS Good Wishes and a Merry Christmas. "OLD PAL" If we sent you cigars you would smoke 'em And we don’t know the kind you prefer. If we sent you rare gems you might soak 'em Or maybe you'd give them to her. If we sent you a book you'd read it And carelessly toss it away. If we sent you a Ford you might speed it And eat Turkey in jail Christmas Day. But a Good Wish needs no rhyme nor reasón And we are sending a Million to you. Here's hoping this will be the best Christmas Season, Old Pal, that you ever knew.
