Conner writes that he has received 3 or 4 letters from Nueal, his sister. He asks Nueal to tell her husband B.J. that he wishes he was back driving. He tells Nueal not to worry about him; he is fine, but he does not have time to write. Conner reports that he is getting his teeth fixed today, and that his fellow men are treating him as good as to be expected. He drove a truck the other day and the other men bragged on him, so he believes he will be put on one again. He tells Nueal to be good, and signs off. The letter is written on Fort Bragg stationery.
