19 April 1944

 

Dear Dad:

Probably you have noticed a little increase in my letters lately.  I have more time in the evenings and not able to study as much as I used to, so to kill time, will write a few lines.  Received your letter today and always enjoy them and appreciate and understand all you write and know how you feel about many things.  I noticed the greeting from Farley on the back.  Dick called me this evening to see if I could go out with him tomorrow but couldn’t arrange it, but he’ll probably stop around tomorrow sometime.  About ten o’clock last night when I was, (and usually am), thinking about you, lying in bed, the news mentioned the shows and it sounded pretty good to hear him mention Sidney and Lexington.  And I think it would be (a) treat to slag around in some snow too.  I certainly agree with you on your sentiments about home and think you are exactly right and I’m kind of anxious to get one started myself.  If money has only value after the war and the government pays all these bonuses and nothing exceptional happens perhaps I will have something to start that home on.  Well here’s the end so good night for this time.

Love,

Harold Moss Signature
