Dear C. Wes

Thank you for your very nice letter of the twenty-
 @ighth instant and the nice things that you had to say.

I am deeply grateful to you for the broucher
printed by the Navy department, in which they tell the
graphic story of Warner's squadron. It is a most gripping ‘
story, this wonderful portrayal of the great part that your

son played. I want to use this in one of my Rebounds.

I know with what fierce pride you read over and
over again this gripping portrayal of one of the greatest
fights that men have ever fought. I find myself unable to put
into words the things I feel and the things that I would like

to say to you.
‘ Sincerely,

Porrest 0. Allen
