1 July 43
Dear Folks:
Will drop you a line to let you know I am ok and that it begins to looks as if they have forgotten me and my men on this atoll. Even to the extent that none of us had had any mail for quite a spell.
The flys and mosquitoes seem to be getting worse. I don’t like them in the tropics as they carry some very bad diseases.
Suppose that Anne & Bobby are having a great time in the country. Wish I could be with them. I believe I will need a little rest when all of this is over. Maybe all of us can take a little trip together.
Am anxious to hear what you thought of the magazine and my outfit’s pictures.
Dad, I can see how you want to get away from everybody and everything every so often. At times I feel as if I would go insane. Will tell you and mother all about it when I see you.
My dog is getting along just fine. She surely is a wonderful companion and a good watch dog as well as a good mother.
Will close for this time. Hope I hear from you soon.
All my love,
Leo
1st Lt. L.J. McLoskey
