Dear Folks & All:
Everything is ok by me and I trust that it is the same with you.
I know one thing your son will be plenty happy when this war is over so he can return home to all of you.
My weight has gone down about twenty pounds and I hope it will remain down. The way I sweat I take about three salt tablets per day to keep from getting dehydrated.
As yet I haven’t received your box but I know that I will one of these days.
These salt water baths are worth a damn. One feels as if he has glue all over him when you get dry. Looks as if I will have to do a little washing tomorrow as my clothes are running low and I didn’t bring many with me this trip. Hope this finds all of you feeling fine.
All my love,
Your son, Leo
Captain L.J. McLoskey
