5 December 1941

 

Dear Folks:

Another brief letter before lights to go out.  All day have been firing on the range and after hiking back, had to work on barracks for two hours. I took some pictures last Sunday and I’m sending one of each to recall in your times my tour of the Army perhaps.  In firing today made one of the best scores in the battery with a one-eighty out of a possible two hundred.

Everything is going fine.  Of course I’m still taking trigonometry every week and learning a little about the stuff.  Will write later.

Love,

Harold Moss Signature
