Conner writes to Nueal: "I don't guess you can read this for I cut my thumb on a tin can and I can't write much tho it's about well now." He says that he is glad to hear that Nathan is back at work now. Conner expresses how much he wishes he could be back working. He asks Nueal to tell Lola Jane that "uncle Herbert wants her to hurry up and write that letter that she was talking about, Ha." He writes that since "space is scarce and I can't write anyway I'll close for this time."
