Chandler writes that his “luck has been poor,” and pleads for Jane to not be discouraged. Chandler writes of his new partner, Simon Adams, and mentions that Adams is “quite a gunner he kills hares, Quail, and we have had a nice hare for supper this Even. We can cook nearly as well as a woman.” Chandler mentions that he expects to eat something nice for Christmas, “for we have a promise from a Lady to cook the game if we will get it. I think it a bargain but Adams will have to kill the game I think.” Notations in pencil on the first page at the top read: “Somewhat out of luck but, ‘don’t be discouraged Jane’ Prospects favorable for Xmas dinner.” Pencil marks highlight certain parts of the text pertaining to the title.
