21 October 1942

 

Dear folks:

Here is another letter before I blow out the candle for another day.  As I do about every night, I’m sitting in the day room with one ear on the radio and reading a little.  I’ve been working on Sandburg’s Lincoln for about three weeks but have it about read.  With the Red Cross books I’ve a long way to go yet.  Also we have a mobile library that makes the camp about once weekly.  Hope we’re beginning to look up in this war situation.  I think so and hope I’m right.  Think something will happen this winter.  Sunday a card to June and Loyd yesterday.

Guess I’ll have to throw in the towel on this letter.  I’m out of news.  Should write Kathleen again soon although she hasn’t answered my last letter yet.  Suppose she’s walking around on a magic carpet.  Goodnight until next letter.

Love,

Harold Moss Signature
