Dear Folks:
I must admit that the past few days have been swell. The sun has been shinning and we haven’t even had to use our kerosene stoves.
This weekend I am going to visit the Whiteman’s again. Dad, I received the Law’s address and I will also look them up.
Last Sunday morning I went to church and in the afternoon we took some pictures. I am enclosing one of them and I will send you the rest when they are finished next week.
Am reading a good book. The name, “The Ramparts We Watch.” It is very interesting. If you ever get a chance be sure to read it.
This evening after chow I went to the movie. Saw “They Met in Bombay” it was a pretty good show.
The paper I am writing on it the type we use in the office.
Received a letter from Robert today. Was glad to hear from him.
Tomorrow evening after work I must wash some clothes. Yesterday afternoon we drew some more khakis. I got 3 shirts, 3 pair of pants, three pair of hose, 3 pairs of shorts and shirts and a new pair of dress shoes. Oh: Yes and 3 garrison caps. Wait until I send you a picture in them.
Oh: yes in the picture I am sending you notice the steel helmet & the bayonet. The tent in the background is my home. It isn’t much but I’ll admit it is a little cozy.
Tomorrow evening some radio and movie stars are giving a show out here for the 2nd Marine Division.
I notice Aunt Vera’s birthday is the seventh of this month so I am going to drop her a line this evening. Dropped them a line a couple of weeks ago. As yet I haven’t heard from them. But, I suppose Aunt Ella is kept quite busy.
Drop me a line whenever you have time as I am always looking for
mail from home when I am sorting the company mail in the morning and afternoon.
Hope this finds all of you feeling fine.
Love to all,
Leo
