April 9, 1944
Dear Folks & All:
Got your letters mailed March 23, 1944 yesterday. I will check in to my insurance. Thanks for enclosing the clipping. However, I am positive that I made out the “N” type allotment card.
It is now 3:30 am and I have the Bn Duty watch until 0715 or 7:15 am. You can see why I am loosing some weight. Not much sleep, and the food not the best in the world.
You tell Henry Johnson that although I have been out of the mainland quite awhile that these women don’t look white to me yet. The saying in our battalion is that they look whiter every day.
Today is Easter. Perhaps next year I’ll be able to go to church with you. At least I hope and pray each day that this conflict will soon be over.
Surely do hate to hear about Allan McCaslins wife. Do hope that the reports of the Dr.’s concerning her are all wrong.
I also received a letter from Anne yesterday which I will have to answer.
Mrs. Dan Frain wrote me a very interesting letter. You know Dan and Jean are adopting a baby and Jean tells me that Dan is rather excited about the whole affair. Dad will make a good father. They still have “Mickey” the dog. I’ll never forget the night you brought Mickey to Chicago for them.
Hope this finds all of you feeling ok. Don’t worry about me. I am feeling 1000 percent.
All my love,
Your son, Leo
Cap’t. L.J. McLoskey
