This letter from Hazel Nevis to Arnold reveals that Leonard is at home on leave.
The Republican Convention that year nominated Thomas E. Dewey and running mate John W. Bricker. By the way, Bill and Hazel Nevis were solid Republicans until Richard M. Nixon ran a nasty and ultimately successful campaign for Senate in 1950 against Representative Helen Gahagan Douglas. They were so turned off by Nixon's distasteful tactics (for which he acquired the nickname "Tricky Dick") that they registered to vote as Democrats after that. I do not know if they changed parties back again, but I assume so.
