| dc.description.transcription | April 8, 1943. Dear Mr. Carter, I have had such a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful flowers. You were so nice and thoughtful to send them and they furnished me a much needed "cheer" as it was very hard to send my Harry back again. I must confess I enjoyed Mrs. Eisenhower's also, as she isn't back yet from San Antonio but I shall tell her about them when she returns. Harry was so pleased with the cigars and bourbon and of course will thank you in due time but since mail is so uncertain I will use his "proxy" to thank you for him - He took your letter with him and I do hope he will have the good fortune of sending you some encouraging news. I think of you often and if good wishes can help, indeed you have mine added to those of your many, many friends_ Kindest regards, Ruth Butcher (Mrs. Harry C. Wardman Park Hotel Wash., D.C. | |
