Dear Mr. Carter: - I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your kindness in calling me about seeing my son, Captain Jesse Beacham Wray, recently in England. We were overjoyed in hearing your good news. I hadn't heard from him in some time when your call came, and you'll never know the relief and joy that it brought me. We were afraid that he was in the African campaign, since he had been in North Ireland for some months. I have wondered since, if I understood that you are now a war correspondent - and also have a son in the first Armored Division? If so, I know you have a very full and interesting life - and if your son is there, you share my anxiety for our sons, as do thousands of other mothers and fathers. If you are ever in South Carolina or near Spartanburg, we would love to have you in our home. I live with my daughter Mrs. W. R. Newbery, and she joins me in expressing our grateful appreciation for your thoughtfulness. Sincerely, Mrs. Jessie Beacham Wray. | |
