Coddaire writes that he sent Olive a package with a few books he thinks she will get a kick out of. He also says he recieved a box from her, with olives, bullion cubes, crackers and a can of tomato juice. He request that Olive send him some sunglasses as he can't find any he likes. Coddaire mentions that all the mail must have caught up to him as he hasn't gotten that much lately, and that it might be some time before he can send anything to her as he is about to go on furlough. He mentions that he is sorry that her cherry tree isn't doing well but writes, "Anyway it might have been a Japanese cherry tree and you wouldn't want the neighbors going around saying you were unpatriotic now, would you?"
