15 August, 1944
Dear Folks:
The time surely is passing very rapidly. I noticed by my book that the last time I dropped you a few lines was 11 August 1944. If my letters are not as numerous as the past it isn’t because I am not thinking of you. My thoughts are with all of you constantly.
Mother, I hope you are feeling much better and I want you to take care of yourself and get plenty of rest because when I get my leave we won’t have much time to rest as we will be up talking and laughing. You and dad and I will have to also play some bridge like we used to.
Dad that plan you asked me if I was in on is close but not exactly the place.
I surely do miss my dog. Yes, dad I will always want a dog but I don’t believe I would be interested in raising them.
No more news except I am o.k. and I pray you are the same. I also hope to be home on leave in four or five more months.
All my love,
Your son, Leo
Capt. L.J. McLoskey
