12 December 1943
Dear Folks:
Today, I received a letter and some more chewing tobacco from you. I appreciated both of them very much.
Probably before too long you won’t be hearing from me for a spell. Don’t worry as I will drop you a letter as soon as I can.
Surely do hope that all of you have a very good Christmas. Yes, I also wish Mother that I could be with you. Each day that goes brings us that much closer to each other.
The mosquitoes are surely bad this evening. But, I am just setting at my field desk in my skivvies so you can see that the weather is quite warm.
That Mary Alice must be getting to be quite a card. How I do miss all of those children. Believe me I will make up for lost time when I do get home. I probably will spoil all of them.
Just a line to let you know that I am ok and that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Hope this finds all of you in the best of health.
All my love,
Your son, Leo
1st Lt. L.J. McLoskey
