Dear Folks:
My plans have been delayed for awhile. Can’t tell you why you will just have to wait until I am able to get home.
As to the money from the Trust Bank. If we go where I think we are I want that with me for reasons I also cannot state in this letter. Am sorry you are worrying so much about my financial status. Personally, I think I have done very well.
Was sorry to hear you didn’t get the farm. Perhaps you will be able to get one latter on.
Thanks for sending me the clipping only I don’t see how they figure it was taken at the base in Diego. Oh well: guess it doesn’t make any difference.
How come my picture was up the Trust Bank? I don’t get it.
So Bobby has come to the conclusion that the dark skinned gal is ok if Uncle Leo wants her. I at least have one ardent supporter in him. I am mailing him today some Marine Corps emblems. He needn’t worry about her. When you find out why I did take that trip you will realize why the picture of her and I.
Hope this finds all of you feeling ok. I and my men are fine but I must admit a little nervous.
Am sorry that I cause you so much worry but I want you to know I love you and I hope to prove that I do know what I am doing.
All my love,
Your son, Leo
1st Lt. L.J. McLoskey
PS What did the bank do? I haven’t heard from them.
