Coddaire writes Olive that he just got his very own pen, as well as seven letters in the mail today, one from Rose and the rest from her. He also mentions giving Ed her address as he lost it. He asks Olive to send him the New Yorker if she can get "Old Man Cooper" to save it for her. He also tells her not to send cigarettes as he gets some in his rations every five days, and to tell his sisters this as well. He ends by saying not to worry about him not having things as he "don't want for a thing with the exception of seeing you. I hope that day comes soon."
