Description
Friday_ Feb 16 1945 Dear Mr. Carter: Enclosed is the letter you ask me to send about the 3600 parcels being with held from our men. Also, two letters I received on my return from Ft. Worth. It sounds like the 2500 parcels were finally given to them. I was quite pleased with his Xmas day letter, but that was then; I'm so worried for their safety at the present. This morning I heard a 6 a.m. news-cast, saying the Germans were moving all the prisoners away from the Russian advance_ on foot_ from 10 to 12 miles a day and more than that if necessary. That the Geneva Treaty states such procedure is alright in order to get food and water. However you may have heard all of this yourself. Here is an article from our Sunday paper here (this past Sunday). Do not know what it could mean. I am sure you will return the enclosed data as soon as you can. How I wsh I could be in Ft. Worth all the time in order to get first hand news from your office_ I know you are entirely too busy to write every little thing that comes to you about our prisoners over there. And how I wish I could be of some help to you and Mrs Deakins with the letters and work piled upon you. Thank you so much for the time you gave Mrs. Sansom and me. We appreciated it so much. Should I hear any more from Col. Barron I shall notify you at once. Sincerely Mrs Gaines J. Barron 3200 Ethel Waco.
