- Description
- 7/23/44 My Dear Mr. Carter with several other Texas boys, arrived here in mid-February. Immediately Amon asked for each name and address saying he would send them to you and possibly expedite our first mail delivery as P.O.W.'s. Now all of us have received both letters and parcels of food, clothing and tobacco. Each of the families has described the unsolicited aid you have given them in details as to our whereabouts and mail instructions. It has enabled us to hear from home weeks earlier and I am sure it served to relieve much anxiety there. We are all grateful beyong words to you, Mr. Carter, for all of your assistance and kindness. Each sends his greetings and best wishes. I see Amon daily and talk with him often. He is kept pretty busy at a camp job, and all the while doing us a great service. All here are well and eagerly awaiting a speedy reunion. Thanking you again for all, I remain, a lonesome longhorn away from home Capt. Eben C. Bergman Capt Eben C. Bergman 270160 64 Mit Luftpost.
