January 1, 1944

Dear Folks:

Here it is 1944 and I hope and pray that I will be able to return home before the year is over.

Honestly: I am so busy that I hardly know where the time goes.

Received a card from Hazel Efaw today.  She says a great many people in the mainland have the flu.  Do you people in Monmouth have it?

Hope that all of you had a nice Christmas and new years.  Did Bobby ever get the lamp that I sent to him?

Received a letter from Robert and he told me that he thought he would soon be called into the service.  I pray that the day will never come.  I also hope that the Democrats and all their bureaus are thrown out in this election.

Believe me when this is all over I have had all the military career that I desire.

Mary Dickson had my signature analyzed and sent it to me and I am enclosing it for you to read.

I am feeling ok so don’t worry about me.  Hope this letter finds all of you in the best of health.

All my love,

Your son, Leo

1^st. Lt. L.J. McLoskey
