Description
Thursday Dear Mr. Carter: It was so good of Mrs. Deakins to let me know how Amon, Jr. is. You and he are even in my thoughts, and altho I write seldom, I want you to know that you are dear to me as always. Since you'll be away some, I want you to know I'll be thinking of you on December 11th - hoping you are having a nice birthday, and I pray that before the next birthday rolls around, you can have Amon, Jr. with you. And, too, on December 23rd, Amon Jr.'s birthday. Everyday is hard, but special days are more difficult, I know. I don't know whether you "compare notes" with others in prison camps - but Sidney's dear friend Lt. Ken Goddard has been a prisoner since Amon, Jr. was in Oflag 64 now, and his mother (?) wrote me about him. She corresponds with Mrs. Johnny Waters, and it helps a bit. Ken's mother's name & address: Mrs. Roscoe H. Goddard, 120 Newton Ave. Worcester, 5, Mass. Extend my best wishes to Mrs. Deakins - it was good of her to write. By the way, Pinky Talbot is mentioned in Ernie Pyle's new book "Brave Men." Keep well - it's going to be a while yet before this is all over in Europe, but we can do it, and I know Amon, Jr. is fine - Lovingly, Jane
