Jones is writing Kate to question why she does not write him more often. He admits to being busy, and also writing several letters that were not mailed. However, he still questions why she does not write more. He describes the dull conditions of Kingston as being a problem when trying to write to her. He spends a lot of time confirming his love to her.
