Dear Folks:
Just a line to let you know that I am ok but that I surely miss all of you and that I am living for the day when we will all be together again.
The past week I believe I have had more on my mind than at any other time of my life. No fooling my work is quite a responsibility and not only that my supply problem is one of no little difficulty.
Oh: yes I mailed a package to you the other day. The mens slippers there are two pair one for dad and one for Robert. The other mother is for you. I mailed Libby a pair and Leota a pair. I will just send all of you different things from time to time and they will constitute your Christmas. What I wouldn’t give to spend this Christmas with all of you. Do you realize that this will be my third straight Christmas away from all of you.
Remember I love all of you. Hope this finds all of you ok. Until I write again may God bless you.
All my love,
Your son, Leo
1st Lt. L.J. McLoskey
PS Dad I liked the poem attached. Don’t worry I’ll send you all the snap shots I can.
