16 March 1943

 

Dear Folks:

My letter writing is getting terrible, which is probably upsetting you no little amount, but I have been pretty busy lately and before I know it four or five days have gone by.  Last Sunday I had a twenty-four (hour) pass and though I didn’t stay out all nite as I wanted to, the sleep until noon the next day made up for it.  Last night I saw the show ‘Mrs. Miniver’ and thought it was great despite it’s inevitable propangandic value.  You needn’t send any money for the hats as they are not that expensive.  I will have to wait until next month now but I will be sure to get them.  I think they are very distinctive.  The Free Press came yesterday and of course I absorbed it immediately despite other things I had to do.  For some reason, Minatare seems a long time ago and the memories about it, a hazy dream I had last night.  I will write very soon.  Goodnite.

Love,

Harold Moss Signature
