dc.description.transcriptionWaco, Texas Oct. 5, 1944. K. Deakins, Sec. to A. Carter Ft. Worth, Texas. Dear Miss Deakins: I hope I can express in the few lines how much I appreciate you making the pictures of our sons funeral to us. If Mr. Carter would not mind I would like to keep them a few days longer until all the family has seen them. I will take very good care of them and return them within the next few days. how could Mrs. Cond who lives here go about getting a copy of these pictures? Her husband is in most of them also Capt. Ferguson. It was very nice of Lt. Meadows to get these pictures back and I know Mr. Carter was glad to get this information about his son. Mr. Carter certainly has the administration of a good many Texas families. The kind of help he has given us all helps so much at this time. I hope he has had a recent letter from Amon jr by now Of I am not able to contact Lt. Meadows by writing to Opp. Would you mind sending me his address if you have it, he must have seen Dick shortly before his death and I would like very much to hear from him. Thank you again for your consideration. Sincerely, Mrs. R.H. Torrence
