30 November 1943

 

Dear Folks:

This letter is prompted by a very rare occasion and event that started last night and ended today.  Yesterday afternoon in the office I received a phone call and upon answering it, about slid off my chair.  It was Dick talking.  He told me he had just arrived on the island and had tomorrow off so I made arrangements to see him.  This morning I met him and even if our visit was short it was a good one.  He wanted a big dinner so we got that and then I showed him some of the place where I live.  He leaves tonight so we had only about a half a day together.  Most of the afternoon we spent talking about Minatare and what it must be like back there now.  I hope to see him again soon on a 5 day pass so I didn’t feel too tough about leaving him.  Well, I’ll write more on this later.  So long for tonight.

Love,

Harold Moss Signature
