24 June 1945

 

Dear Folks:

Another Sunday just finishing and it had its small share of something different.  Today at three we had Protestant services and I find myself liking the chaplain more every day.  Also a super special treat this morning was fresh fried eggs – the first since Leyte and one of (the) few specials in the past year.  And almost as good as a big red apple.  I could eat a bushel of them.

My morale was braced somewhat today by the rumor that all men with points over the critical score would be home by September.  But I can’t let myself believe it because it would be too big a letdown if no soap.  All kinds of stories have their followers – here’s another – men with enough points will be kept in a pool until sent home.  I hope a few of the good ones materialize.

Had a letter from June a few days ago.  She says she may head for Europe to see Loyd.

Have you done any ‘casual’ investigating about Wylma?  I’m very anxious to hear from her.

Well I can’t find much else to write about but at least it’s a letter.

Love,

Harold Moss Signature
