Dear Dr,Allen;

I am rather late in getting this note to youibut here it
comes,At birth Cornelia Ann's head had a tendency to lean
a little towards the left. The attending physician said
that nature would take care of it all right. We kept care-
ful check on it and it really did improve,photos etc.show
that the eondition was practically nowmal,when she had the
misfortune to break her right arm,This happened about four
years ago.If the left arm had been broken carrying it ina
sling would have helped the original condition, but instead,
the carrying of the right arm,had a tendency to make Corne-
lia Ann lean her head to the left and the pull aggravated
the old condition, I think I told you that my opinion was
that she carrfed her arm too long,

We feel certain that the trouble is in the Sterno-mastoid.
muscle, As you know this ig a strap like muscle with two
heads,one attached to the sternum and the ather to the clav-
icle, The contraction seems to be concentrated in the strap
from the sternum to the mastoid process, =

We have been using resistive exercises and diathermy treat-
ment under a man,who is good,here at the University,

Since you are not sure that you and Mrs.Allen will be able
to visit us I am going to try and arrange to have Nina and
Cornelia Ann stay in Atlanta with me during the entire ses-
sion of the National meeting. By doing this we can see one
another between sessions, <

I certainly do appreciate your interest in Cornelia Ann and
if you have any perscription other than what we have don

and are doing we will be grateful to you for same,

With kindest regards,

I an,
