Conner tells Nueal and he and Jonas had some pictures made, so they will send them soon. Responding to Nueal's letter in which she said she will be sending Herbert some things for Xmas, Conner asks for paper because "we need it most as you see this isn't very good." In closing, Conner writes "Sis. I guess you think I am crazy and you think about right. but this is about all we have to write about. So I'll close with a big hello' for Jonas and I."
