Yarbrough writes to Jean Calloway, also a member of Alpha Iota Chapter, from Georgetown University, where he is in an Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP) studying Chinese. The letter mainly focuses on mutual friends but also includes notes about the chapter's depleting numbers due to the war, life at Georgetown, and Yarbrough's desire to return to school once the war ends. A few lines at the end of the letter are written in Chinese.
