O'Connell will ship off by the following month. Roseann looks forward to Bill's upcoming leave and the future "benefit" of not working when that time arrives. She discusses clothing and measurements. Has concerns that a clothier in Hong Kong will lose her clothes. She ends her letter because she was "getting too warm," thinking of him. Also enclosed is a fortune cookie slip.
