- March 15th 1943. Mr Carter Fort worth Star Telegram Fort Worth, Texas My dear Mr Carter. I have just read the enclosed in Friday's Baltimore Sun, and as my sister has just heard from the War Department that her son Capt. John L. Peyton is "missing in action" in Tunisia since Feb. 15th, I am taking the liberty of writing you to ask if you have had any further informatino as to whether those missing in action there at that time are probably prisoners. It is a terrible blow, and his mother and father seem to have absolutely no hope of his being alive now. He was in the tank corps. May I offer you my great sympathy in the receiving of the news of your son's "missing in action" with the hope that you may soon receive further news of him_ Very Sincerely, Elizabeth Catlett. Miss Elizabeth Catlett 303 Berkeley Place Staunton, Virginia. P.S_ I have just seen in another notice of your son, that he trained at Fort Knox where my nephew trained and also was in Ireland and England, so quite possibly was in the same contingent.
