20 January 1944
Dear Folks:
I have to rush to drop you this short letter. Now don’t worry if you don’t hear from me for quite a spell. I will write to you just as soon as I can.
Am feeling ok and I trust that you are feeling the same.
Yes, Mother I do hope and pray that I will be able to get home this year to see you. However, I want to do all I can to end this war out here in the Pacific so I can return to a peaceful living life again.
Tell all the neighbors and family hello for me.
Until you hear from me again may God bless all of you.
All my love,
Your son, Leo
1st Lt. L.J. McLoskey
