JD has received letters from several people. JD says envelops will soon become scarce, so he’ll start only sending letters to his parents and wife; he tells Pascal to read those. Hoyt will be joining leaving for service in the Army May 4th. JD mentions the Life Magazine photographers again and requests that the family send him a copy when the issue comes out.

JD’s been pretty busy lately and hasn’t had much time for writing home. Hopefully he will receive more mail soon, and he’ll be able to write a better letter. JD says he got a letter from McCoy, and that he mentioned getting letters from home. JD still looks at his own pictures all the time. He’s also taken some photos on the island, but he’s not sure where he can get them developed.

JD’s still hoping for mail soon since it’s been two weeks since the last time he got any. He hasn’t figured out how he’s going to get his photo negatives developed. Since the film belonged to a friend, he may end up sending them to the friend’s wife so she can develop them and have copies made to be sent to JD’s family. JD asks about the farm and Pap’s job.
