25 April 1942

 

[illegible] in town with real hospitality.  Having a dance tonite.  Just got in good shows in the hi-school.  Can’t get over the cold weather, snow and a cold breeze.  Tomorrow nite will be in Vancouver our destination, covered 291 miles today.  People are swell here and the town is very quaint.  Will write tomorrow.

Love,

Harold Moss Signature
