Dear Folks:
Dad, it surely did sound good to hear your voice today and also to know that Robert is getting along ok. Mother, I wanted to talk with all of you but due to regulations I couldn’t. As it was I waited seven hours to get the call through.
I am now back at the place where I first landed but I will be leaving here about the first of next month to go to the place where I was before. While here they gave me a ten day rest period and the rest of the time I will be going to school and also giving school. I flew here and I’ll fly back.
What I wouldn’t give to see all of you. It seems ages since we were all last together.
I do hope and pray that Robert will have a speedy recovery.
Just keep sending my mail to my old address at Unit #535 as I’ll just about catch up with it when I get back.
I could hear Bobby’s voice and you tell him I did.
Will I ever be glad when all this mess is over. I can hardly wait.
I got the card from the National Bank and I filled it out and sent it back.
This place where I am now is worse than Chicago it is simply a mad house.
The red cross will probably be calling you as they also are going to let me know the condition of Robert as I didn’t know for sure whether I would be able to get the call through.
Don’t worry about me as I am getting along swell and feeling fine.
Be sure and give my regards to all the neighbors and friends. I can’t say much as you know the censor regulations.
I will now drop Robert a line.
Love to all,
Leo
