Description
"Mrs. W.W. Odom has received the following letter from W.E. Kepner, who was the Commanding General of her son, W.W. Odom Jr., who has been reported missing since early in January:

It is my sad portion to write that your splendid son is now missing. While this is not official, I hasten to extend my heartfelt and personal sympathy. He was a superior man and son of his great country. We shall miss him and the strong help he always gave in full more and more as our battles become increasingly difficult. His comrades have only the deepest affection and respect for the memory of such a man..."
