dc.description.transcriptionSaturday. Dear Amon:- I've thought of you so much these last few days, and want you to know that my heart and prayers are with you_ Raymond tells me what wonderful courage and strength you have shown through it all_ I just know that there is "a Supreme Being," that gives us aid when we need it, as I do know your devotion for that grand boy_ I have felt a real privelge in being able to go into the church every week, and say a "pittle prayer," and burn a "candle" for Amon Jr. In the future I will try to make the trip more often, because "prayer" alon is our only hope and refuge. Am enclosing a "little prayeR" that I have been using since Xmas_ I do hope you will see fit to read it every day, and that it will bring results_ Again let me tell you how much affection Raymond and I have for you_ If at any time I can help, won't you please call on me_ I am thinking of you. Sincerely "Katherine"_
