Conner was glad to receive 12 letters this past week, especially the pictures of Nueal and Lola Gene. He wishes that he could send a picture of himself if only he could get it made. Writing in response to the news about B.J. from Nueal, Conner says that it is good B.J. set up his sawmill at Mrs. Dorroh's place because there is "real fine timber" on her place. He sends his love and asks Nueal to write soon.
