23 April 1945

 

Dear Folks:

Another evening just before dark with nothing to do so I just as well write.  Yesterday afternoon Dick stopped in for a short visit so we talked for a while.  I was glad to know he was alright and he seemed in good spirits under the circumstances.  I hope he will be able to see me again before long.

Been pretty busy all day and the time goes faster.  I can hardly realize it is April.

The big fad in the battery right now is figuring points.  A new rotation plan has been started based on the point system – so many for campaigns, overseas and a few more items.  This outfit has quite a few points – probably not too many troops who have more, but return will depend on how many replacements can be sent this way.  There must be a man to replace you and if he isn’t available you stay.

It’s beginning to get dark and I haven’t anything more to write about so I’ll knock off.  I’m fine.  Wanted you to know I had seen Dick.

Love,

Harold Moss Signature
