Conner tells Nueal that he is still working in the kitchens as a cook. He jokes that "now I can boiled water without birning it Ha! ha!" Conner writes that he doesn't like the Army or the jungles, but says that he'll "have more to appreciate when I get back home I can prove to you all how I love my American home and my love ones." Conner hopes to return between "now and 45 only two more years if that long and I hope its not that long although it could be longer we can't tell can we?" To Nueal, he writes "Sis. I guess you won't like this crazy letter and I can't blame you. But we don't have any thing to write about but such as this." He sends his love and closes the letter.
