Richard writes Joyce how much he misses her, and loves her. He mentions that he and his group walked into a valley and were shot at. He reports that nobody was hit, but it scared all the men. It took about an hour to walk through the valley and about 2000 meters out they camped for the night. Richard complains that it rained during the night and now all his stuff is wet, but that it might get a chance to dry because the sun is out now. He is not sure if they are moving, but it turns out that they stay in place all day. Richard asks after family and says he will be writing to his sisters and mother soon. He also asks what Joyce's mother thought about their plan to get married when he comes home.
