20 April 1945

 

Dear Folks:

Only time to write you a few lines but I know you want to hear.  Your mail is coming through in an excellent manner and it is surprising how fast.  I can’t mention specific dates.  Much of this mail is fairly old stuff held up by the circumstances, but the recent stuff is also coming.  It is needless to say how good it is to get them.  Had two from Dad today just after dinner.  I will have a lot of letters to write when things quiet down.

I can’t tell you much about the campaign but you can get a fairly accurate account from the papers.  I will see Dick every opportunity I have and will let you know immediately.  I’m fine and feeling good.  The doctor was a little concerned about my illness but after two negative urinalysis he concluded it was neuritis.  Anyway it left and has not reoccurred.  I have an excellent buddy and that helps.  So does Dick from what they have gone through they know each other inside and out.  They look for each other.

I will write again soon and in the meantime have confidence and I know everything will turn out alright.

Love,

Harold Moss Signature
