March 1 1944
Dear Folks & all:
It has been about eighteen days since I have heard from you. I hope and pray that everything is ok with all of you.
As yet I haven’t received your package but don’t worry about it as I know that it will be along one of these days.
The evenings are pretty cool but the day’s wow! The heat is teriffic. From 1100 until 1 500 it is almost unbearable. The weight has surely gone off of me this trip. I could stand it.
Heaven only knows when I will be able to get home and see all of you. Looks now as if it will be 1945. However I haven’t given up hopes of it being yet this year.
I am now living with the same fellow I did before. We have a tent set up. It isn’t to bad. Reminds me of the time we took the fishing trip with the Law’s up to Wisconsin.
Am anxiously awaiting a letter from you. Give all my regards to everybody. There just isn’t anything I can write except that I miss and love all of you.
All my love,
Your son, Leo
Captain L.J. McLoskey
