| dc.description.transcription | Waco, Texas. Feb. 7, 1943. Mr. Amon Carter Ft Worth Texas. Dear Sir: I am enclosing a copy of the letter we received from the government about our boy. As you can see tree is no more information than we had in the telegram. Mr. Carter we deeply appreciate you telegram and your efforts to help us get information about the death of our boy. Our hearts are broken but I feel that it might help if we could know the date and the true cause of his death. No one here has heard from their boys yet in that camps. I hope and pray that the rest of the boys are safe and that you will hear soon. Sincerely, Mrs. R.H. Torrence. 2211 Barnard Ave Waco |
