23 March 1945

 

Dear Folks:

I’m afraid this won’t be much of a letter but any word is good I know.  Just received the news of Phil’s induction into the Navy and I feel wonderful about [it].  That will be much better than the Army.  He will always know where his bunk is and will escape the uncomforts of foxholes and C rations.  He will be alright.

So very little has happened I’m very short on news so this will about be it.  Am feeling good again but always have you on my mind and wonder when I can see you again.

Love,

Harold Moss Signature
