Conner writes that he was glad to hear from Nueal that Francis Dorroh is in school. He says "I sure wished I had have went on for I need it so bad now. As you no I can't hardly write and plenty other ways I need it. But it to late for me to think about that now and I have to make the best of it." He relays a message from Jonas to Nueal, that Jona regrets not writing Nueal sooner. Jonas cuts all of "Co-'C' boys hair and it takes all of his spair time." He sends his love and closes the letter.
