Summary
Complaining about a lack of liquor: "I have no liquor here, will probably never have any liquor here. This here is a desert. To hold back the drought a local businessman started a Fair Island Gin Business, flavored with guava. I'm thirsty, tired and war-weary"; commenting on Sperisen's stay in the hospital; listing books he is reading, including Virginia Woolf's Jacob's Room, Walt Whitman, and [George Meredith's] The Ordeal of Richard Feverel.
