12 October 1942

 

Dear Folks:

Just two days since my last letter to you but here I am again writing another.  Your letters have been arriving regularly and I hope mine have begun to catch up with you.  I have (been) writing volumes almost and I suppose you are a little surprised.  Recently I sent you a double deck of cards that you said you wanted in (Camp) Stoneman.  Things are very high here although we can make most necessary purchases at the Army PX at mainland prices. Also men in Hawaii have been granted the use of trans-Pacific radio telephones and sometime I’m going to call you.  The charge is approximately twenty dollars for three minutes, it won’t be collect as those are not accepted.  Well the war news is taking a brighter hue and perhaps the end will come next year.  Really hate to miss Katie’s wedding and I hope it will be only one I miss.  Think about all of you all the time.

Love,

Harold Moss Signature
