- Description
- My dear Mrs. Carter: I am the mother of Captain Bruce Martin. You may remember Bruce as your son's associate. I shall never forget you telephoning me in Bruce's behalf last December. I have the governments notice that Bruce is missing since February 14th. New Jersey telephones we what he reads in the New York TImes and Trubune - your son Amon Jr. we think we have reason to believe the boys were together and may share a like fate. WOuld you be so very merciful as to tell us if you husvand or anthing we could do, or anyone we could ask for any sort of help. Bruce's father is dead. There are friends of his and of ours who are very much concerned and are not enterily without influence, who would be gla dto do anything they could. The Red Cross Center here says there is nothing to do, just to mill. I shall not apoligize for my letter to you. Believe that I am very very sorry about you, and especially for those poor gentlement- our sons. We shall carry our tragic hope in which we have so little faith and which one key existence seems impossible.I hope you are not too mad at me. I hope also that I may one day my return a meausre of the joy you brought to us your telephone glimpse of Bruce those ages ago. Very Sincerely yours, Jean Martin
