Roper Mil Prison Charleston September 13 '64

Dear sister

I've not had the good fortune to hear from any of you, Since my capture.I have written Several times every opportunity and in my letters have requested that you send me a suit of clothes and some money. My health has Been quite delicate though much better now. Any communications to me must undergo a strict examination you will be careful therefore not to say anything that will prevent its passing.

Any money or package should come by express. I hope soon to receive a box from you as my clothes are in bad shape your letters had better come unsealed. Give my love to all.

From your affectionate brother Prisoner of War Charleston via Hilton Head
