dc.description.transcriptionFeb 3, 1945 - Dear Mr. Carter, Wonder if you have any news of our boys. My latest letter from Ivan is still the one of Dec. 10th and received here on Jan 10th. He seemed in faily good spirits at that time, but didn't say much. Mrs. Jac Emerson of Handley, wrote you sent telegrams to all the Texans do you have any more informations besides that - that the camp of Oflag 64 has been moved to Segan Germany 80 miles southeast of Berlin. I keep hoping the Russians reach them before the Germans have a chance to move them again. Ivan's brother in Fort Worth has a card from him Dec. 13th received Jan 15th. Mrs. Emerson has a card Dec 14th from Capt. Emerson. Wonder is anyone has any later news. Are you still writing Amon to the old address at Oflag 64, or do you have a new address, Mr. Carter? Hoping we all hear good news soon and all the husbands, sons, and sweethearts will be on their way home. Let me hear from you. I'm always interested in any new syou have of Amon. Have you seen any of Larry Allen's articles? I've just finished the one in Jan. Cosmopotian, that's only on I've had a chance to read. Sincerely, Janet Carlisle
