Conner inquires after B.J. and the hands. He hopes that B.J. "and Burdett has enough hand that they can run all of their mills." He tells Nueal that he wishes he could send her a picture but he cannot get any made. He writes that Jonas had some pictures made, and that he tried to join Jonas but was not able to. He closes the letter by saying "be good and good nite and don't for get that I do love you all."
