dc.description.transcription3/15/43 My dear Mr. Carter: We have read with distress and concern about the message you received concerning your son. It was my privilege know him slightly and I have admired him and often thought of saying to you what a grand job I thought you had done in rearing a real man. Our hearts go out to you and our prayers that he may be found and returned to the life of usefulness and service I know you had anticipated for him. Sincerely, (illegible) The Hon Amon G. Carter Ft. Worth, Texas
