- Description
- Waco, Texas. July 8, 1944. Mr. Amon Carter. Ft. Worth, Texas. Dear Mr. Carter: I have been intending to mail you these letters concerning the death of our son Capt. Richard Torrence but we have been so hurt I am a little late in doing these things. I'm sure you will understand. We sincerely appreciate your help and sympathy and feel that all we can do is to accept these letters as the whole truth but back in our hearts there will be a doubt until we can see and talk to some of the boys there. Our other boy has received the purple heart which he mailed home. He is now on a limited service, due to a permanent knee injury somewhere in Italy. I sincerely hope your boy is well and that your hearing from him regularly. Best wishes from Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Torrence 2211 Barnard Waco Texas.
