May 16, 1944
Dear Brother & Family:
Robert, I got your letter written May 6, 1944 and I was plenty glad to hear from you. Yes, Ted and I do quite a bit of reminiscing. He is one grand fellow. Old Jim Galbaugh is getting plenty of publicity. Haven’t seen Bozz in almost a month. Will be glad to receive the pictures you were telling me about.
Guess the folks house must look plenty o.k. Surely would like to see it.
Received a letter from Geneva Simmons. She surely does miss Dan and I can readily see why.
What’s all the dope about the draft board resigning, also about Dr. Joe and about Camp and dad. Dad tells me the Camp tried to tell him that he couldn’t hire a County Dr. Boy, they will have to get up early in the morning to outsmart Dad. I don’t give a damn if they have an M.C. LLB. BS. PHD. Before a mans name. Personally, I think dad has done one swell job.
Libby, I got a swell letter from Mary. She is one swell gal and I don’t mean perhaps.
I will have plenty to tell all of you if and when I return.
It won’t be long now until the children will be having summer vacations. How I used to look forward to that.
My cold still seems to linger on. My eye is o.k. and I trust that I will not have any more trouble with it.
Not much news but I wanted to let all of you know that I miss you and I pray for the war to come to an end. My postwar plans are not definite but I do know that I want a wife, home and family.
All my love,
Leo
