6 July 1944

 

Dear Folks:

A few minutes before dark and time to answer several of your recent letters.  Received one from Nancy and yesterday one from you about the watch.  This letter is little more than to tell you I am alright – quite safe and things are getting better all the time.  Since my first visit with Dick haven’t seen him since but am expecting to have my visit with him soon.  He’s quite a guy – I think more of him every day.  Wish I could tell you about his experiences as he told them to me.  Our mail is arriving in good order, better than back on the islands, and is the most sought after commodity.  It means a great deal.

Follow the news closely and I’ll write as often as possible and hope I’ll soon tell you all that is going on.

Love,

Harold Moss Signature

Harold’s Whereabouts

Saipan

Rank

<h4>T/Sgt. HG Moss 37086474</h4>

T/Sgt. HG Moss 37086474

Technical sergeant was the rank between staff sergeant and first sergeant. Technical Sergeant was renamed Sergeant First Class in 1948.

Description

1 handwritten V-mail page to his parents in Minatare, Nebraska. There is a very evident change in his usual flowing handwriting.  The words are not uniform and one gets the impression that Harold is under pressure or uncomfortable in his present assignment which is off the comfortable island of Oahu and into the Pacific on Saipan.
