March 22, 1944
Dear Folks:
This is my sixth letter to you this month and if I had written to you as often as I had wanted to and as often as I think of you it would be my six thousandth.
I mailed Bobby and Anne a Japanese ten yen note so I am mailing you this one.
As yet I haven’t received any of the birthday boxes but as I thought I had written you in my last letter it will be coming along one of these days so don’t worry,
I got a letter from Aunt Minnie Hay’s yesterday. It was mailed on Feb 27, 1944 with only a three cent stamp so it made very good time.
Received your letters of Feb 25, 14, and 17th yesterday. Believe me I surely was glad to receive them. Thanks a great deal for all the stamps. I can surely use them.
Mother, you said it I surely could go for some of that roast pork and browned potatoes. That’s not all, those scalloped oysters would surely be mighty fine.
Yes, it surely will be swell when this is all over and we can return to the ones we love.
Would like to answer some of your questions but due to censorship regulations that is impossible.
Here it is almost the end of the month again. I wonder often what the future holds in store for all of us.
Mother in June I will have completed twenty four months overseas or two years. Maybe they will send me home one of these day’s. However, there are plenty who have been over longer than I.
This finds me well and I trust it will reach all of you the same.
All my love,
Your son, Leo
