Conner writes that he is said to hear that Bell Dorroh's mill burned, and that one of his hands was responsible for burning it. He asks Nueal how everyone is at home. He specifically wonders how Francis is, and asks if she has married. He writes "I guess not for most of the boys are in the services." Conner tells Nueal that he does not have much to write about, and closes the letter.
