Dear Folks:
Will drop you a few lines this morning as I have a few seconds due to the heavy down pour we are having. If we don’t float away I mean our bivouacs, everything will be fine.
Haven’t heard from you since I dropped you a letter about the farm. I am sort of anxious to find out what you intend to do.
Believe me mother I could surely go for some of your good old home cooking. No matter how hard anybody trys they can never beat their mothers food.
In the near future I will probably be moving again. Now don’t worry as I will be ok and if you don’t hear from me for awhile you will know I am at sea. I probably will get a little rest before departing. My first stop by which I will go by air will be where I was in Feb. when I called home. From there I think I will go toward Yokohoma. That is about half way. Write and tell me where and I will tell you if you are correct.
Hope this finds all of you feeling fine. I am ok and so are my men.
Am anxious mother to see what you thought of the pictures.
Dad, don’t worry to much about the mints.
All my love,
Your son, Leo
