Millie Thorson writes to Elias Johnstad on September 23, 1918 to vent her frustration that General Pershing has put a limit of one holiday package per American soldier fighting in Europe. She comments that Sisseton was quite crowded when Mr. Townley from North Dakota came to speak at the courthouse. She mentions the forthcoming cold weather knits Elias is to receive, but asks him to write for them to help circumvent the recent one package per man restriction. Millie ends her letter by wishing for peace and the quick return of Elias.
