Worth, Texas Dear Mr. Carter: I received you kind and sympathetic letter Saturday and I wish to thank you for your thoughfulness. I have received letters from different parts of Texas from people who has written me about my son and I just can't express my gratitude enough. I know that someday he will be coming home and I live only to see him return. I truly hope by now that you have heard the whereabouts of your son in North Africa. I also ahve a son there. He has just landed there and seems to enjoy himself very much. We are going to have to have courage to see this thing through and we are going to have courage because we are Americans and can take it. I also sympathize with you and yours in your anxiety. Respectively, Mrs. Pearl Bunson |
