24 February 1943

 

Dearest Folks:

I just finished an erratic game of contract bridge and now before I and another day (go by), I’ll write you a few lines.  I believe my game has improved considerably since I was home—at least I seem to be pretty good.

This would be an especially appropriate night for a Moss housewarming.  It’s cold, dark, and gives a house that added cozy touch.  I hope I never grow old enough to always want to sit in on another.

I had a letter from Mrs. Carroll today and one from Mrs. Lewellen a while back.  I will answer them right away.  I wrote Mrs. Peters sometime ago after I let it go for too long.  I hardly knew what to say and hope that what I wrote was alright.  Have not heard from Dick for some time.  I can imagine quite how he feels and like you, I do hope that he hits it as lucky as I have.

I was a little surprised about your course but I had suspected that you would eventually do something.  I only hope it doesn’t evolve into anything strenuous because it’s time you started on your fifty year rest.

The gal in the picture is one that entertained at our camp. [no picture was included in the envelope]

My letters are getting to be models of brevity and drabness because the day to day pattern is so routine that a letter has become a project.

Goodnite and remember that faith is a lot of ammunition.

Love,

Harold Moss Signature
