dc.description.transcriptionPasadena, Texas May-18-1944 Dear Mr. Carter I am writeing you. As my Brother Lt. Edd Rhoades, now a prisoner of war in Oflag 64. Germany.Ask me to call on you. We have just received his letter, dated Oct. 1943- at that time we were in Ft. Worth, with James T. Taylor and Ron. Edd ask us to tell you your son, was in the same Barracks as he. He is well and getting alonge alright, He said they had food enough and the winter was not as cold as they had thought. Of course he know's you hear from Lt Carter as often as is possible but it may help a little to hear from some of the other boys there. He is alright. Edd writes there are 400 boys' there and they ae all doing fine. Edd was there in Africa on Feb 14-43-. We hear from him about every six or eight weeks, He is also receiving his packages and letters. I do hope it wont be too long before our boys are home. but I can't keep being a little glad they are out of comnat, I know it is hard for them to be so confined and nothing to do but wait. I hope you are hearing from your son often. I am, very truly Mrs. Rhoades. Mrs. R. R. Rhoades Box 862. Pasadena, Texas.
