Dear Folks,
I am dropping you this line to let you know I am feeling fine and that all is O.K. Have a great group of boys with me and they are working hard the same as I.
Surely do miss all of you and I will drop you a line as often as I can.
All of you must be sure and write to me as often as you can. Heaven knows when I will get it but send it air mail.
You will just have to pass my letter around to the rest of the family.
Surely was glad you got to come out to the coast and have the visit we had. Things surely did happen fast after you left.
Remember I love all of you keep your chin up and we will soon have the situation well in hand.
Love to all,
Leo
