Transcription: 
Just finished writing a letter 
home - hopefully we will both be 
back, and someone will be able to come 
on the 15th.
	This is a long way round to 
telling you that it was enervating 
seeing you, ole buddy. But then, it 
always is. Figure that we hold 
many keys to many doors in our 
grubby little paws, and that present 
power, however impressive its 
claims and efforts, is in contrast, pitifully obsolescent. 
	As usual, no sweat. You, my 
friend, have much to do with 
that. Until we see youse, love, 
grace, peace.
