"The Soldier's Last Letter" was a number 1 hit for Ernest Tubb in 1944. Guess he must have loaned it to his friend, Hank. Yeah, I have it by both of them and when I get around to the Ts I'll post it!!! Thanks so much for sending it, JT.

Thanks to Ernest Tubb for bringing Hank to the attention of Nashville when he left Canada for the USA.

thank ya. I'm just stunned by that one. Seems like he took it word for word from the kid's letter. Wish I'd written home more...
