7 July 1944

 

Dear Folks:

Before I walk over to the jeep and hear the world news over it’s radio, better write you a brief epistle.  Everyone is anxious to hear the news in fact, any kind of program is welcome, and in the meantime quite a crowd gathers to listen in.  Well [illegible] with has passed by.  I don’t know how [illegible] it but mine consisted of a first class meal from the kitchen.  More of a treat than you think.  I’m still very much okeh, perhaps and gaining a pound or two.  My bed isn’t on a Simmons mattress but I manage to get enough of it – sleep I mean.  Wish I could describe to you what I did today.  I know it would make good reading for you.  I hope I can write you all about it soon.  And thank you for the letter Nancy and Phil – I sure [am] anxious to see you both.  You must both have grown so much, I won’t know you.  Well so long for this time.

Love,

Harold Moss Signature
