- Description
- Box 190, RT 2 Slaton Texas May 18, 1945 Mr Amon G. Carter: We are rejoice with you on the release of your noble son from a German prisoner camp. We are glad to hear of everyone's son who is freed. But we appeal for those of us who have waited so long and uncertainly that you do not forget our agony. The enclosed clipping from your paper shows the promise we wish kept. Why have radios and newspapers stopped their lists- waiting for the slow facilities of the Red Cross to give the names so long awaited. There is such repetition and scarcity of European news now, why could not one 15 minutes a day be given to report from the various camps and their release. We are aware of disorders - men released and gone to their own ways to freedom. But, since they must all be requested before being shipped, why can't their names be called - as was done in the Philippine release? Sincerely, Mrs. TW McCain
