18 December 1943
Dear Folks:
I see that another week has almost passed. My how the time does go.
Dad, you are correct the job I have is really a headache. I guess though that I will still be able to retain my sense of humor. At least I have thus far.
I wrote Aunt Ella a letter the other day. I will try and write them at least once a week.
Funny but tonight being Saturday my thoughts went back to my childhood and how you folks used to give me a quarter to go to the movie. Guess I must be getting old.
Mother, I also wish that I could be with you at Christmas. Not only Christmas but for the rest of our lives. If I could be home with all of you it would be the greatest gift I could have.
My roommate is surely one grand fellow. He is married and he is surely true to his wife. I hope that some day you will have the pleasure of meeting him.
Received a letter from Robert today and he told me that he would probably be called in February. I hope and pray that he will never have to go. I don’t see what they are thinking about by taking all the men with families. I will do all I can to help.
I am feeling ok and try not to worry to much about me as I will get along ok. Until I can write you again may God Bless you.
All my love,
Your son, Leo
