30 October 1943
Dear Folks:
Here it is Saturday again. I guess I am just a week closer to seeing all of you again. By that I mean that the war has gone another week and it looks as if we are driving the Japs back farther every day.
Don’t know how long I will be here. I don’t imagine very long. It won’t make me mad as I am anxious to get this over so I can return home to the ones I love.
Received your package and thanks a great deal. You folks surely have been swell to me.
AI did a little shopping yesterday and I will try and get the packages mailed within the next week.
It seems as if they really pile the work and responsibility on me. It helps though as I am kept busy all the time. I must get a hair cut sometime today as my hair is getting down over my ears.
About all I can say is that I am ok and I hope all of you are the same.
Until I get a chance to write to you again may God Bless all of you.
All my love,
Your son, Leo
1st Lt. L.J. McLoskey
