Conner writes that he was sad to hear that negro Stink and Leo Long did not pass the exam for the Army, but at the same time he is glad "they are not going through with what we are." On the topic of serving during the war, Conner tells Nueal "I sure hope I can stay in the game until it is over. for I have seen enough until I want to do my part. And that's no joke." He sends his love and closes the letter.
