25 July, 1944

Dear Folks & All:

I finally arrived at my destination.  My new commanding officer I knew as a 1^st Lt. When I was a Sgt in Tanks.  As yet I haven’t been assigned my duties but when I am I will let you know.

I came to my new post by plane and I flew quite a few hours.  Guess I can tell you that I am south of the equator but that is about all.

Surely I’ll get home before many more months.  Hope this finds all of you well.  I am feeling fine.  My new address is:

1^st Marine Division

1^st Tank Bn, FMF

c/o F.P.O.

San Francisco, Calif.

Must make this brief so I can get myself bedded down for the evening.

All my love,

Your son, Leo

Cap’t L.J. McLoskey
