Dear Folks:
Received a letter from you this week and news from home is always welcome.
Dad, that was quite a picture of you and Mr. Barnes.
The letter I received was the one with the picture & you and mother had both written.
Regarding the deposit for the bank. It will be sent by U.S. Gov’t check in the amount of $25.pp per month. If you haven’t heard anything about it by the end of the month be sure and let me know so I can check on it.
I imagine I will get the rest of the mail that has been sent one of these days. Most generally the fellows get a stack of mail all at once.
Incidentally I sent you a cablegram, did you ever get it? Also, mother I sent you some flowers before we sailed did you get them? Yes Mother I have some of the boys with me you met in San Diego and they are all very hard workers and I am glad they got to serve under me.
Now don’t worry about me as I’ll get by o.k. and I’ll drop you a line as often as I can.
Be sure to tell all the family hello and I miss all of you.
Love to all,
Leo
