Conner writes that Fayetteville, N.C. is 8 miles away from Fort Bragg. He says he will not go to Fayetteville though because it's a mean place and he doesn't want to get in trouble. He says that it is colder here and very rainy. He has not yet received Nueal's stamp and letter but gets all of letters. He writes that he has to go and tells her to be good until he sees or writes her.
