Dear Folks:
I am enjoying a 48 hour leave by visiting the Whitemans. I got off at 5 pm yesterday (Tuesday) and I don’t have to be back until 5 pm Thursday. Sara and Bob both acted like they were plenty glad to see me.
Well, Mother this Sunday is Mothers Day and I want you to know I will be thinking of you. We get paid this Thursday and I will send you a gift at that time.
They still are working me plenty hard but I guess I will be able to survive it. Anyway it looks as if I am not loosing much weight although I do have some restless nights thinking about what has to be done the following day.
Dad, I see by the paper where you are again chairman of the Memorial Day Committee. I think it is great of you to be in so many civic activities.
How did Mary Alice and Anne like their gifts? You never did tell me except about Bobby. I guess you know he is the favorite of his Uncle Leo. Golly! How I do miss that boy and all the rest of you.
Are you beginning to get rested up from your trip? No fooling the weather the pasta few days has been marvelous. Plenty of sunshine and also plenty hot.
Sara & Bob say they haven’t heard from the kids in some time and I also haven’t heard for quite a spell. Then I suppose they are quite busy.
I will mail this as I drive down to get Bob this evening. He still is working quite long hours. The McCulloughs are coming over this evening so if your ears start to burning you will know we are talking about you.
Hope this finds all of you feeling fine and don’t forget I love and miss all of you.
Love to all,
Leo
