Sir:

i failed to find an invoice and I note there was I5e in postage ex-
pended on me. And T note your intention of sending also to the
soldier-son. I thank vou more than double.

Let me say in all séncerity, 1 believe you have no conception
of many enduring monuments you have unconsciously erected in the hearts
of thousands end thousands--might say tens of thousands who have con-
tacted you in your activitics.

This "Rebounds" idea really caps them all, because you brought
comfort and joy--mental--to our own flesh and blood boys in far-away
corners, stripped and desolate of our conception of living. It is the
old pep that counts--how well you know it--end your recognition of what
and when to administer succor to the spirits of those engaged in line
of duty, passes @11 desciption im mere words by mé. ae
as for me and mine, Sir, as om Old Sergeant, i salute yous

Tn arother way, + want to impose on your kindness. 1 wrote
Mr. Flint that I desired to contribute 4 small amount to the “ournal-
ism Memorial Structure, as a former quitasee of K. Ul. 4 enclose a
smell check in fulfillment of that promise. teelly” thought more of

“p), Flint who was then assistant Dean of Journalism than I did of “ean
iignte Thorne--and he never flunked me éither,. i nad fair grades.

By the way, last week, @ young lieutenant ceme in the office on
business. One word led to another, @gnd when I learned he was the son of
my true friend, ir, Flint, k@arnednesr. fell on his neck with Joy. +
