Feb 11, 1943

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
