8/2/44
Dear Folks:
No mail as yet but it will catch up with me one of these days.
Just finished washing out some clothes. I let them soak for a couple of day’s and then I take a brush and some soap and go after them. By golly I really do get them clean.
Most of the officers in the battalion are good guys. We all get along ok.
Another month, August, and the time is surely going by rapidly as I am plenty busy. It will be a very happy day when I can return to all of you.
Mother, I could surely use some of that good cooking of yours. Believe me I really will eat, eat and eat when I return.
Not much news but a few lines to let you know that I am thinking of you and miss all of you. I know I will be plenty happy when all of this is over.
Keep your chins up. I’ll be back some day. Hope this finds all of you well. I am feeling o.k.
All my love,
Your son, Leo
Captain L.J. McLoskey
