31 May 1943

 

Dear Dad:

I should have written you some time ago but lately I have been pretty busy and have to take time off to write.  I hope you have read the book, for now you will have a better picture of my environment.  I like it better here every day and if I don’t check myself, I’ll want to stay.

Tomorrow is my day off and I suppose I will play some tennis and loaf around the USO.  I haven’t seen Dick yet but have had a letter from him.  It may be possible that we can get together this month if something doesn’t happen to impact my arrangements.  I’m glad you received all the pictures.  Film is not plentiful but by looking around we can usually manage to find a roll.  I know it’s a mistake to call this a letter but letters are not just a lot of paper of words.

Love,

Harold Moss Signature
