Hugo Fieldschmidy, Dallas, Notify, Dr. ML Friedman 1703 Live Oak Street. These officers are all fine and have already written home but want you to let their folks know where they are. Have had 40 of your letters. Had three from Jeans last week, the January parcel should arrive soon, sure hope so because I can really use the food. Every 8 officers here have their own small garden. We have garlic, onions, radishes, lettuce, and flowers in ours. It's all we have but it will fill us up a little. Please thank Mr. Shuman and the WE Smith's for their letters. Give everyone else my love. We are all fine and are really glad the winter is over am sure I will gain some weight. Lots of love, Amon Jr. | |
