Conner tells Nueal that it is a great deal cooler now, so he sleeps and feels better. He expresses to Nueal that he wants "this war to end and us boys can come back to the good old U.S.A. that will be a great day with me." Conner sends his love to Nueal and closes the letter. In the postscript, he asks Nueal to write and tell him how long it takes for her to receive his letters.
