3/5/43

Dear folks & all:

I arrived back with my old outfit safely yesterday and I don’t mind telling you I was happy to get back with them and they were all plenty glad to see me.

Received a letter from Libby today and she tells me that Robert is improving and I surely am glad to hear that.

Dad I am anxious to hear how the caucus came out but I am sure that you were nominated.

Mother, I guess you and the children must be having a great time while you are taking care of them.  Golly! What I wouldn’t give to see all of you.

I am feeling just fine so don’t worry about me.

Leota has been very swell about writing to me concerning the progress of Robert.

So Anne is learning how to play the saxophone.  Now all Bobby has to do it to learn how to play the drums.  Remember me and my piano lessons?

You should see the pups.  We kept two of them.  Maybe I’ll be able to send you some pictures of them one of these days.

This climate is almost unbearable at times.  I guess you know I would love to have some of your cold weather.

If only I could see all of you we would have so much to talk about.

I must drop the Aunts and Grandfather Shawler a line one of these days.  It just seems as if I am almost busy twenty four hours a day.

It is now only 7:30 pm and I am so sleepy I can hardly keep my eyes open.  I’ll probably be in bed by nine o’clock.

Oh: yes I received a letter from Beaulah and Sam and as usual she had some jokes for me.  She always has some good ones and that is something we very seldom hear out here.

Hope this finds all of you in the best of health and drop me a line whenever you have time.

Got the letter with the stamps and the clipping and thanks a great deal.

Love to all,

Leo
