10 May 1944

 

Dear Folks:

Guess I better be dropping you a line or I’ll be getting behind again.  Time moves along pretty fast.  Dick and I went to town last Sunday but the place was so crowded got pretty disgusted.  Spent the afternoon at Waikiki.  The traffic along the avenue was something terrible and it’s a job to even use the street.  Sunday before last Dick saw an all star baseball game and told me he saw Bob Harris.  Later he talked to him in the dressing room and guess they enjoyed quite a little bull session about Minatare.  Sorry I couldn’t see him.  Got the Free Press today and read about Parker’s trip to North Carolina.  How in the ___ can they do it?  A few days ago I sent my photo album home.  Didn’t want anything to happen to it so thought I better send it.

Well this isn’t hardly what you could call a letter but have to send something along.  Will write more tomorrow.  Going to visit Dick tomorrow too.

Love,

Harold Moss Signature
