- Description
- November 22, 1943 US. Navy yard Portsmouth, N. H. Dear Katrine, It has been so long since I have heard any news about Amon, and would give any thing to know that he is all right and feeling fine. I wonder if you would be kind enough to write me a short letter just to let me know the latest information that you have received. I have been listening to the radio and have heard various German prisoners of war who have been returned, and most of them had been there for a much shorter time than Amon. It would be possible for Amon to be back and I would know nothing about it. I guess you know by now, but just in case you don't, I was married the 3rd of November in Austin. I think you and Mr. Carter know my wife, Maxine Robison, because she has been to Ft. Worth a few times with me, and has met both you and Mr. Carter. It was a very nice wedding, but would have been absolutely perfect if Amon would have been there. I thought about him so much, and every one wanted to know if I had any news about him. I had a ten day leave, and after being married in Austin, we went to New York where we saw the army - Notre Dame game and had a wonderful time. I reported back on November 11th and am now living in a small house about ten miles from the Navy Yard, because the living quarters that are nearer are more expensive and are not as good. Maxine is really a swell girl and we are very happy up here. I am still working with, and testing submarines, and the work is very interesting. I will probably be up here until next spring and then go out. How is Mr. Carter feeling? I wish you would give him my very best regards. He has always been so nice to me, and I have appreciated it so much. Very truly yours, Pat
