9 July 1942
Dear Folks & all:
Another week almost gone, my how the time does fly. It seems years since I last saw all of you.
Have been very busy ever since I arrived. It looks very much as if I will be moving again before long.
You thought my face and hands were brown in San Diego, you should see me now.
I trust that this letter finds all of you feeling fine. You will have to pass this around as it is very hard to write due to the rigid censorship.
As you, I haven’t received any mail but when I do I expect to receive a large bundle of it.
Did you get my cablegram ok? Also how often does my mail reach you?
By the time I get back I suppose the children will be so grown I won’t know them.
Are they still taking some of the married men from the old home town into the Army? Boy am I glad that I am in the Marines and not the Army or the Navy.
Although I sweat continually not many lbs drop off of me. But I am feeling fine and I’ll drop you a line as often as I can.
Remember I love and miss all of you.
Love to all,
Leo
2d Lt. L.J. McLoskey
