Mrs. Lutie Long Smith,

Kansas City, Mo,

. Dear Lutie:

Iwas delighted to reseive your kind letter which came to
Mre. Allen and me. Mrs. Allen left two weeks ago today to visit |
Jane Allen Mons at 954 Rolling Pass, Glenview, Tllinois, and after |
@ week's visit there left to visit Mary Allen Hamilton and her
three children at 860 Center Street, Palo Alto, California. ‘She

is out there at the present time. I am sending your letter on to
her. j

imtie, I will be delighted to give you an A-one boost. If
you are still as efficient as you were when we knew you at Warrens-
burg I would say that you are A-plus. I have not received any
cormunication as yet, but you can count on my one hundred per sent
cooperation. You certainly were not presumptious and it is a
pleasure for me to help you in every way possible.

I was glad to learn about your family and also to know of
your versatile activities in the American Legion Auxiliary. I was
sorry to learn about the passing of your father. Won't you give
your mother my regards when you see her. We were very fond of her.

With all good wishes, I an

Very sincerely yours,
