2 November 1943
Dear Folks:
Have a few moments so I will drop you a line to let you know that I am ok and still kept quite busy.
Here it is November and all I have on is a shirt and trousers. But, believe me I could surely go for some of that cold snappy Illinois weather.
That “Masterpiece” really hits the spot as it is quite dusty here. Remember how it was at San Diego when we went for the blitz buggy ride. Out here the dust is about three times as bad and the Masterpiece keeps my throat moist.
I haven’t as yet been able to mail the packages but I will before long.
Received a box from Beulah and Sam and it surely was swell of them to send it.
I want you to know that I miss all of you so until I have a chance to drop you a letter again may God Bless all of you.
All my love,
Your son, Leo
1st Lt. L.J. McLoskey
