Tolbert's letters are written from New Britain. He continues to mention his loneliness and reveals his father's drinking problem. His tone toward Clennell continues to be affectionate but with an element of machoism. In one of the most outwardly racism sentiments expressed toward the Japanese, Tolbert writes in his June 7, 1944 letter: "japs the dirty dogs. They just aren't human. At least the Germans are humans. But humans or not they won't last long." Despite this, he hopes to visit Tokyo before the war ends.
