11 Sept 43
Dear Folks:
Got your letter with the National New Service thing in it. I am enclosing it to you in this letter. Thanks for sending it and also thank you for keeping things for me.
Guess I was just sort of feeling bad the last time I wrote. You know on these atolls after twelve or more months at times one is actually talking to himself.
Mother I am glad that you liked the handkerchiefs. I want all of you to know that I am thinking of you all the time.
Golly! I surely do hope that Bobby has gotten his Marine insignia by now. Let me know if he has it. Dad as you say maybe it was best that you didn’t take the farm at this time. You know I am a firm believer in that all things happen for the best. That God looks over us and knows what is best for all of us.
Radio hasn’t had her family yet so I guess perhaps the last conception date we had was wrong. As far as I am concerned I hope she doesn’t have any more because she is now a beautiful dog and a great companion.
Hope this finds all of you ok and may God bless you all.
All my love,
Your son, Leo
1st Lt. L.J. McLoskey
