18 November 1942
Dear Folks & All:
Am sending in another envelope a book with $4.00 worth of postage stamps. I mean war savings stamps. Thought you might be able to fill it out. We can’t get bonds or stamps where I am at.
Dad, you ask me if I could get a check cashed where I am. Yes Up to $25.00 the post exchange office cash’s them for the officers. At times some of my men need 2 or 3 dollars a piece to buy supplies for themselves so I cash a check and loan it to them. You see they are only allowed a small amount of cash and then at times they don ‘t get that for a couple of months.
Let me know if you get the letter with the check in it for your Christmas and also let me know if the kids & Aunt Ella get theirs.
It has now been raining here for 36 hours and what I mean it isn’t a drizzle.
Lately I have even been sleeping with my clothes on as I have had to be up and down so darn much during the nights lately. Great deal of activity at the present.
I am feeling ok and hope this finds you the same. We haven’t had any mail for 16 days. But, I wanted to let you know I am always thinking of all of you.
All my love,
your son Leo
Lt. L.J. McLoskey
