Dear Dad:
Today, being fathers day I will drop you a few lines. Am enclosing some snaps with some writing on the back of the pictures. I am only sorry that I can’t be with you on this day. My garden continues to grow a little each day.
Received a letter from Bobby and also one from Anne. They surely are getting to be quite the correspondents.
We have a little excitement now and then. Just enough to keep us on our toes at all times.
Ted Lyons and I make quite a battery in soft ball. They call us the armored division because we are so large. We play the enlisted men quite often and they get quite a bang out of it.
Will have plenty amusing stories to tell you when I return. When??? That is the question. Well maybe one of these days they will surprise me and give me my orders to the states. That will be the happiest day and the next will be when you meet me at the station.
Hope this finds you and mother in the best of health. I am feeling o.k. Not much news but a few lines to say hello and wish you a Happy Fathers Day.
All my love,
Your son, Leo
