War-date T.L.S. 1p. 4to., Headquarters of the 43d Infantry Division, Feb. 27, 1945, to two boys collecting autographs. In part: "...When I left home over four years ago my boys were still boys. One is now a prisoner of war in Germany. War is a terrifically useless and wasteful thing and boys of your generation must, and I am sure will, do everything to prevent it. Not by misguided ideas of disarmament or pacifism by insisting that our country be so strong that no one will dare attack it...".
