Very fitting reading for Christmas. I can't wait to get home and resume Wool.

Ha! How cool about that letter. I shall console myself that a greatx2 grandfather, according to a 1909 newspaper article, wouldn't back down about the bad working conditions for Austrian immigrants at the Tobasco factory (he was the New Orleans consul for Austro-Hungary).
