4/6/44
Dear Folks & All:
It is now 12:20 am and as nothing exciting has happened thus far I will drop you a few lines.
I have the battalion duty from midnight until three am. The pesky flies are just about to drive me mad.
The 16th of this month is your wedding anniversary and again I want to wish you a very happy one and many more. Surely do wish that I could spend it with you. Maybe, the next one I will be able to be with you.
If only I could be with you and all the rest of the family for a few hours. I’ll admit that I am plenty homesick to see all of you.
This paper will probably be a little dirty, it is because I just finished fixing a generator before I came on duty. Yes, believe it or not, but your son has become quite a mechanic.
Dad, I surely could use (and the gov’t also) some of your retreading business. Golly! I have so much to talk over with all of you.
Hope the finds all of you feeling ok and that you and Roberts are now getting my letters.
All my love,
Your son, Leo
Captain L.J. McLoskey
