dc.description.transcriptionJanuary 24, 1945 Houston, Texas Dear Mr. Carter, I want to sincerely express my thanks to you and your son for your thoughtfulness in sneding me news of my husband, Lt. Anthony L. Vetrano, Jr., who is interned at the same prisoner of war camp as your son. I had already received direct news from my husband, but I always appreciate any further confirmation of his whereabouts and well being. Our last letter from him was received on Juanuary 17th and it was a very recently written one, dated December 12th. He said that everyone there wasn't looking forward to Christmas, but that the morale of all was very high regardless. Since the Russian drive into Poland I have heard two unconfirmed reports concerning Oflag 64. One, that it had been captured by the Russians and liberated and the other that it is taken for granted that the prisoners at this camp had been moved farther into the interior of Germany. Being you are in the newspaper business I was wondering if you know of any definite news concerning the situation. I want to thank you again for your kind letter and whenever I have any further word from my husband of interest I will surely let you know. Sincerely, Mrs. A. L. Vetrano, Jr.
