I spend this anniversary and festival far from my country, far from my family, yet I cannot truthfully say that I feel far from home.
Whether it be the ties of blood on my mother's side or the friendships i have developed here over many years of active life, or the
commanding sentiment of comradeship in the common cause of great peoples who speak the same language, who kneel at the same
atars and to a very large extent, pursue the same ideals I cannot feel myself a stranger here in the centre and at the summit of the
United States, feel a sense of unity and fraternal association which added to the endliness of your welcome, convinces me that I have a
right to st at your fireside and share your Christmas joys
