| dc.description.transcription | My dear Mr. Carter: I am so distressed for you over the news that your fine young son is a probable prisoner. Intended writing a few days ago when I saw he was missing, then comes a clipping with a splendid picture of him, which I enclose as it is so clear. What a fine and precious looking boy he is! Such a strong and sweet face, with spendid features and a wonderful mouth. I am sorry you must have this distress. Of course so many must experience it, but when it come to our griends, we feel it is nearer us- as terrible as being a prisoner is, I am sure you feel as our parents here, that at least he is alive and some day will be released. See that Dallas seems a little perturbed again over Ft. Worth being favored by a "few feet of ground." As I told one Dallas lady, years ago, they are only peeved because they have not "Amon Carter of Dallas instead of Ft. Worth". All success to you- never did like Dallas, anyway and love Ft. Worth. Tell Walter Scott I said that, please. Again, please know taht I am thinking of you during these anxious days. Sincerely Julia N. Pool Mar. 25, 1943 | |
