| dc.description.transcription | Dear Mr. Carter: Frist of all I want to thank you for the arrangement you have made so I can get the Fort Worth Star Telegram. My folks get the paper and then take it down to you office and girls send it to me up here. I ma not the only me who enjoys it. Several friends and boys as my crew here at the ase and our outposts enjoy the news. My dad wrote somet ime ago that Amon Jr. was a war prisoner in Germany. I was sorry to hear that bad news. I used to work for the Star Telegram when attending Central Hiigh School. If you will recall back in 1935 I was in the freshman footbal team at TCU and some loyal supporters of TCU sent the freshamn team down to New Oleans to the Sugar Bowl game in 1936, January 1st I will never forget this wonderufl trip and am team won 3 to 2. See I have plent to thank you for. Someday when this war is over and I get bck to the good old USA I want to visit with you as I am not finishing my education here by mail though Texas Tech then I will be ready to start out for myself. the last two years attended TCU I operated the college Service Station for the Continental Oil Company. I only lacked twelve hours finishing at TCU in August 1941 I joined the army. When you write Amon Jr. Tell him I wish him all the luck in the World. He will recall my sister, Catherine Morrisey as they went to school together at Texas Univiersity and both belonged to the Fort Worth Club at Austin. Catherine's name is Mrs. HD Christner now . Her husband is a Lieutentant in the Navy. They are stationed in Nevada at persent. With loads of good luck to ou and best regards to the good folks in Fort Worth and thanking ou again for you kindess in making it possible for the boys and myself to have your wonderful paper and hoping that this conflict will be over soon and we will all be bak with you loved ones soon, I beg to remain, Sincerely, Thomas F Morrissey | |
