15 June 1944
Dear Folks:
Another month half gone and here I am still way out in the Pacific. The war news is better every day and I do believe we really have the Axis Powers on the run. Let’s hope we keep them that way.
You surely did do well on your investment on the house on South B. I think you got a good deal on the way you sold it.
I believe you were wise in not buying the farm you looked at as the way the tenant sounded the lane surely had been farmed to the peak. By the way my garden is growing lately. I do believe that the soil it has been planted in has also been used to it’s extent of usefulness.
When Wilda returns I know you will all have a swell time. Wish I could be with you on the picnics.
That cream you get from Charlie Brock surely does sound good. Milk, and plenty of it is something I intend on having when the war is over.
I am glad that all the children like to come over and visit with you. The next time I drop you a few lines I should have some pictures for you. Received a letter from Bobby which I must answer when I finish this. He must be getting to be quite a boy.
They continue to keep me quite busy but as I have said before that is the way I like it as the time goes by that much faster.
Hope this finds all of you in the best of health.
All my love,
Your son, Leo
