- Description
- Saturday Dear Mr. Carter: It was so thoughtful of your to have Mrs. Deakins call me about the mail. I intended calling for you that morning but was waiting until I thought you were at the office. I feel assured that our boys are all right; the newspapers have been encouraging the last few days, and I know they can take care of themselves. Mrs. Brown called me Thursday nite, her husband is the dental officer for the 91st F.A. and he's been awarded something for bravery & heroism. She said it was a long article in the paper about all he'd done. So I know the boys are really in it, but we do have the upper hand now. I've been overly concerned about you - this life isn't easy to take, but we must be good and take it on the chin, for it is up to us to not let our boys imagine we're not brave. We are courageous, and I have faith that our boys will be safe. I'm anxiously awaiting to hear when you'll come to see us; I know you're busy, but there's nothing more important than a little change of atmosphere, and it really helps. I appreciate your many kindnesses and hearing that nice letter you received from Sidney was a real booster. Hope we'll hear real (?) (?) news later than Feb. 14th Sincerely, Jane
