3 February 1943

Dear Folks:

This isn’t going to be much of a letter I can tell you now but at least it will serve to let you know what I am doing.  By now you know of the Marshalls and probably felt some apprehension as to my whereabouts.  But I’m still quite the same.  I called Dick up a few minutes ago but he was at the PX so couldn’t talk to him.  Hope we can get together next Sunday.  Was on pass yesterday but didn’t shop for the shells as I wasn’t paid yet.  But today got the shekels so will get them next time.  By the way I write lately, you know why I use the typewriter so much.  (Handwriting) getting pretty poor.  Worked pretty hard all day and feel like a good sleep but first a little studying to do.  Well I’m going to hold up on this for now but maybe tomorrow I can get together something a little better than this.

Love,

Harold Moss Signature
