dc.typeDocument
dc.description.transcriptionMarch 11, 1943 Dearest Amon, I am wishing very had that I could be some comfort to you - but I know only too well that you are the only person who can help yourself. Somehow I feel sure that things are not as bad as they now seem. I have "a feeling" that all is well with "Little" Amon. There is much more I could say if I only had the art to put my strong sentiments on paper. Surely it must be some small comfort to know how many people love and admire both you and your son. I hope you know that I am thinking of you and praying for your son's safe return. Meanshile you will "carry on" - continuing to make your son proud of the really grand person you are. Fred, Nina Maria and Fritzpalan send their love too. Always Vera
