He tells them to only write to the location he gives them. He writes about talking to a salesman about purchasing an endowment policy in case of his death. He says he will get different insurance soon. He writes that he includes $25 for Cordelia's birthday (not enclosed) and apologizes for being unable to send a card or present.

On the last page of the letter is a hand drawn map of Africa and Germany, captioned "where we go for Gunnery."
