Dear Cap:

Yes, I did know that Jack Buckman

I knew all about the unfortunate
setiaihiabins in the high school. in fact, i wrote him

to treatment. They have not been ab "to éiagnose
the case as yet, although he is much better and more
hopeful of a speedy recovery. However, it does inter-

will get so far behind that he will not be able to
make the grade.
