Conner asks if Harlod Conner, or Charles Dorroh, B.J's brother, are in the army. He requests that Nueal send him a list of hands who are in the army. He says that he likes to get long letters. Jonas is ok, and as "fat as a hog." He asks Nueal to tell Jonas's mother that Jonas is ok, and to thank Mrs. Crawley for letting his mother know that he was fine when his letters were not reaching her.
