North writes from a hospital in Africa. As it is the first time he's had available to write for a while, he responds to about half a dozen of his father's letters at once, discussing his wartime experiences.
North says he has received another batch of ANW's letters, says he is feeling better than he has in months after his stay in the hospital, and discusses the state of the war.
North says he has received his first letters since leaving England, that he loves the climate and prefers it to London, the friendly reception of the locals.
North says he enjoyed reading ANW's "Anatomy of Some Scientific Ideas" more than any other essay he'd ever read, and goes on to discuss a disagreement with him on his philosophy of education.
