dc.description.transcriptionAustin, Texas Mar. 12, 1943. My Dear Amon: I read about your dear boy yesterday and this morning I see that there is a chance that he is still alive. I am deeply distressed over your anxiety, but am glad that there is still hope. Perhaps Bill could get some information for you, as he is in North Africa. If you will call C.R. he can tell you where a number of American Airlines boys are located; if it is not a military secret and they will gladly get all the information (illiegible). Be assured of our interest and affection. Yours sincerely, Marion B. Smith 703 Park Place.
