22 October 1943
Dear Folks:
Hope everything is ok by all of you. I am feeling just fine. Have been very busy but I guess we will be able to relax in a day or so.
We arrived at our destination ok and I am writing you to let you know I am ok. Will be here for awhile before departing again. It is rather warm even here. One only wears trousers and a shirt.
I’ll be you had fun with Ada, Homer and Helen. What is Helen’s husbands last name?
I know one thing for sure. I’ll certainly be glad to get home and see all of you again. As each day passes it brings us that much nearer.
Isn’t much I can write. Golly we even have ants here and the mosquitoes. No fooling they just about carry you away evenings.
Suppose the children are busy with school. Mary Alice must be growing like a weed.
Will close for this time. My address is still the same. Probably will be different in the near future. Just keep sending mail to the old address. I will get all of it eventually.
Until I write next may God Bless all of you.
All my love,
Your son, Leo
1st Lt. L.J. McLoskey
