Description
Waco, Texas. Nov. 12, 1944. K. Deakins Ft. Worth Star Telegram. Ft. Worth, Texas. Dear Mr. Deakins: I am writing again to thank you for the picture of our boys funeral. Since I received your last letter we have had quite a few more pictures made from them. Enough for the family to all have some. I gave your last letter and the two groups of pictures to Francis Bond, Capt. Bond's wife. I am sure that you have heard from her. She was delighted that you had them. I have written to Lt. Meadows, Opp Ala but have not relieved any answer. It was nice i am sure to have relieved the information about Amon Jr. From someone who had seen him. We have receleived some enlargements of the pictures from Mr. John J Jones, Rice Hotel, Houston. I wondered if he is a fronther of Col. Jones, the little man with the moustache in the front of the group picture of Texas men. I am sure these pictures were all taken at or after the funderal as Dick was not in any of them and I suppose that Amon Jr. must have taken them. I hope you are stil able to get letters from him and that he is hearing from you and MR. Carter and the others that mean so much to them. I don not believe that Dick got any of our letters, even if they did not come back. Give our best regards to Mr. Carter if he is in town. Sincerely, Mrs. R.H. Torrence.
