Conner reports satisfaction in his work in the kitchen. He writes that "I can say this I sure have got a real good bunch of boys to work with and that is what count these days." Conner asks after B.J. and Burdette. He wonders if Stink is still driving Neg and Sam, and says "old negro stink how is he since he got married and where does he live in Kennedy I guess." Conner sends his love to Nueal and closes the letter.
