Davao City, Feb. 8, 1946.
My dear Mrs. Coates:
I am very glad to hear from you.
And you must be wondering why you
didn’t get any reply from me as yet.
Will you believe me if I say I got
your letter dated Nov. 16, 1946, just
today? I am wondering how long a
letter comes this way from the states.
You must be very happy to have
Ernest back. Indeed he was one of
those who made it much easier for
us here in the Philippines. We would
have gone down to the mire hadn’t
they arrived as soon as they could.
The Japs did everything to destroy
us, both physically and morally. There
were many massacres and burning of
towns. They have wronged most of
our women. That was that with the
war.
We were trodden upon but now we
are on our feet again with the kind-
est helping hand of the dear Ameri-
Council
of
Saturday, .
School Auditor!ufn in Fairfield. Mrs.
J. F. Baker of Teague, president of
the Council, called the meeting to
order with the group singing “The
Eyes of Texas.” Mrs. Beatrice John-
son gave the invocation. Mrs. W. D.
Herring, president of the local As-
sociation, welcomed the visitors, and
Mrs. Dick Lambert of Dew gave the
response. A piano selection, “Moon-
light Revels,” was played by Edward
Lee Daniel.
Mrs. Baker presided during the
business that followed. A resolutions
committee was named, Miss Shelma
Carlile of Fairfield and Mrs. J. T.
Carlile of Teague. The nominating
committee for officers for next year
met while Bonnie Nell Nicholas play-
ed “Sparkling Eyes” and Martha Bell
Stroud played “Sea Gardens” - and
T. Carlile of

lai V. Novikov, present charge

Elmer Luther Nevills, home from
oversea, was visiting friends here
j Thursday night.
• Everyone enjoyed the musical
cans. We will ever be grateful to
you people of the United States.
Men at the front as well as elements
and people there at home did their
best and bore with us the trying
days with admirable grit and morale.
I wish everyone of us could icome over
and shpw our undying gratitude.
I haven’t heard from Ernest. He
must be pretty busy. However, I’ll
not forget him with all ha has done
for us.
It was after a heavy mortar shell-
ing at Taal, where we evacuated, that
I met him with a friend. We were
fishing out coins from our burnt lodg-
ing house when they psssed by. They
greeted us and we became friends. He
fell sick a few days after and was
taken to the city. He helped us with
food trying to share with ns their
bountiful rations. They were the
first can goods we tasted in years,
and you could just imagine how we
liked them. Ernest was always
thoughtful about us and I’ll remem-
ber him ever for that. Not only for
that reason but for the simple reason
that he is an American who shared
in the task of lifting us from the
depths we fell into.
All is well with us. I’m back home
after six years of being away. Every-
one is safe, thanks be to the Lord.
I’m glad to hear you are all well.
Ernest will write soon I hope.
