28 November 1942

 

Dear Folks:

It hasn’t been twenty hours ago that I laid down my pen on the last letter to you  but I can’t sit around tonite without writing you.  Received a card from June today with a dollar bill in it—a cute card.  Then had a letter from Geraldine who is teaching in Elk Creek.  The Davis’ do good by me in writing.  A good day for mail.  Suppose you are all subsiding after the holiday and can’t hardly imagine Kate as Mrs. Creal.  I hope she gets the message I sent her.   Today was Saturday, the old Saturdays still reflect on the ones now.  Heard part of the Army game and the Hit Parade.  Something warming about hearing the same programs.  I wish I could tell you a little more in my letters but it only takes a word or two to disclose something that might be damaging.  Tonight have been doing the weekend polishing.  My laundry is done by a Filipino lady who does a very good job.

Love,

Harold Moss Signature
