| dc.description.transcription | 8 January 1943 69 College Place Hampton, Virginia My dear Mr. Carter, Rarely in my life have I been more deeply appreciate of anything done for me than I am for all the thoughtfulness you have shown to me. I shall never forget it. To have just had news of Charlie revived my spirals as I talked to you I found myself charging up and down with the telephone in my hand rather like a caged lioness in the zoon. Upon my return from Washington I found eighteen letters from Charlies. Two more came yesterday. The most recent was written in a blacked out text, in the with a flash light to write by. It was Christmas Eve he had hoped to have their two fine carolists play carols but something came up to prevent. He seems to find the rain healthier than normal. Mr. Carter, try not to worry about Amon. They will give us good care of themselves and I know that no man will be more considerate of the officers and men under him than Charlie will be. Perhaps I can never reciprocate all you have done for us but someday I may able to do something for one you love - It will give me great pleasure. In your travels, if you ever come by this way there is always a royal welcome for you, or any of the Carters in our home. Thank you with all my hears Sincerely, Julia Reeder Summerall |
