Conner writes that he is glad to hear that Charlis Hill is in the air corp. He says "I sure wish I had my time to go over I wood be some place beside here, so much for that." Conner asks Nueal "how do the people back there think the ware is coming along now?" He hopes that it does not last as long it has.
