Dear folks & all:
We surely have been catching the rain here lately. I would say more than our share. Oh: well we can use it an that trench coat you sent me really does the job. I don’t know what I would do without it.
Got another letter from Beaulah and Sam they surely are swell people. Then I got a letter my ex boss had written me dated 5 Aug 42. It surely has been traveling all over the world but I finally got it.
My pups are coming along just fine. I’ll try and get a picture taken of them and send you one.
Still the same here, work, eat, sweat and sleep when you can find a few odd moments.
Surely would love to see all of you. It seems ages since I have been with all of you.
The war has been rather dull the past few weeks but I look for all hell to break loose before long. Just like a football game, the one side feeling out the other.
You should see the sweat rolling off of me. I now take 2 salt tablets per day and that doesn’t seem to help much.
Hope this finds all of you feeling ok. I am feeling fine. Give my regards to all.
Love to all,
Leo
Lt. L.J. McLoskey
