6 March 1945

 

Dear Folks:

Thought I better use a V-mail tonight as there isn’t much to write about.  But today did have one of those seldom occasions.  For the first time in almost a year I had some ice cream.  It was just enough to wet your whistle but it was damned good.  Probably that will be my ration for a long time to come.  Haven’t had any mail the last few days so tomorrow should bring in a big batch.  Got a January Reader’s Digest a few days ago so I’ve had some good reading material.  In the December 23rd issue of the Saturday Evening Post there is a good article on artillery that you might like and also in a recent American.  Been laying off exercises this week and the doc is giving me sulphadiazene tablets for my back.  Maybe that will do it.  I guess this is about it for another time.  Better write Dick tonight.

Love,

Harold Moss Signature
