- Description
- 1715 Seward B-3 Detroit, Michigan March 26th 1943 Mr Ammon G. Carter Star Telegram Fort Worth, Texas Dear Mr. Carter, "A little touch of sorrow makes all the world akin." We hear D. J. Frank Norris refer to your great sorrow and since our own Junior paid the surpeme price in one of the flying fortresses on the other side, we know the deep dark Gethsemane through which you are going. Words are inadequate to express the heartfelt sympathy that we have for you. But we just wanted you to know that, as two parents who have suffered the same loss, we are praying that our heavenly Father will comfort you as He has comforted us. Yours very sincerely, Mr. and Mrs Lynn E. Riess
