21 February 1945

 

Dear Folks:

Just came from the show, didn’t like it so we came back.  Anyway it looks like a rainstorm.  Had a letter from Dick a few days ago – one of his usual ‘shorties’.  But it sounded like he was in good spirits and generally taking it easy. Said he had met Duane C. and according to Dick, he has about the same line of B.S.  Maybe before I leave the Pacific, I will be able to see him although I wouldn’t miss the visit.

For the past few days have had an attack of my old albumen trouble.  A few nights it was really painful but today it is much better.  Went to the hospital for a urinalysis but it failed to show anything however the doctor told me to keep a close eye on it and to take it easy if it gets bad again.  I can’t imagine what started it.  Had a little attack after coming in the Army but it wasn’t bad.  I don’t think it will cause me much trouble although it is a bad ache when it sets in.

Have been pretty busy lately and the time seems to be flying.  Am getting more optimistic about rotation although it will be many months before I am eligible.  Mail, first class, has been coming in good, although no more packages have arrived.  I’m beginning to think the greater part of them were lost, although a few more may possibly come.  I did get the pen and pencil set which I wanted most.  It is certainly a beauty.

I’m about stopped for news, not much to tell, so just as well quit here.  I’m always thinking of you and looking forward to the day when we can be together.

Love,

Harold Moss Signature
