4 April, 1944
Dear Folks:
I got your letter today that you mailed 21 Feb, 1944. So you can se that the mail is sort of mixed up. Anyway I am always glad to hear from you. In case I didn’t tell you I did get the college calendar and thanks for sending it.
As yet I haven’t received the birthday box but don’t worry about it as it will be along one of these days.
I can’t understand why Roberts haven’t been getting my mail. I have been writing. They surely will get them eventually. Let me know if you get the Japanese money that I sent you.
Got a letter from Hazel Sorensen and she tells me that her nephew Jack is home on leave. I’ll bet they were glad to see him.
Surely is too bad about Allan McCaslin’s wife. Hope they are wrong on her diagnosis.
Had to leave Radio when I left as she was pregnant again. She surely was quite a gal. Got a letter from the officer I left her with and she again had a large litter. My dog that I brought with me this trip is named “Boot.” Will send you a picture of him one of these day’s. He is quite a dog and as you will note a male, so I won’t have the trouble with “Boot” that I had with “Radio.”
As I have the watch at the C.P. I just finished dropping the Aunts and Roberts a letter. It keeps me on the go all the time with all the duties I have.
Robert tells me that you took Bobby to the high school to hear Lynn Waldorf. Sort of getting Bobby football minded young aren’t you? I’ll bet he will make a good athlete as he is plenty smart and fast.
Hope this finds you all in the best of health. My sore throat is all gone and I am again back to par.
The ants are also very pesky here. They are the large red variety. The fly’s are also very large. We call them bull fly’s.
Give my regards to all the neighbors. Sounds as if you still have plenty of laughs in the neighborhood. Maybe you think I am not dreaming of the day when I can laugh with you.
All my love,
Your son, Leo
