baa Dr. Esther:

I was terribly grieved to learn of your illness. I

received your letter March 21 and thought that I would answer

"immediately, wishing you an immediate recovery. Of course,

I knew that that would not be possible, but =n
this is and was my sincere wishe |

' I trust now that you have made splendid progress and
you aré well on the way out of your difficulty. Some said that
"it never rains but what it pours" and I assure you that you
deserve a better fate. However, you being a fighter, you
doubtless will come out of it in fine shape.

: - Your philosophy doubtless has been changed somewhat
because of this illness, because during the time that one is
flat on his back he learns to reevaluate the better things of
life. .

$e was nice of you to write. Please give your good
husband, Dre Vason Barney, my kindest regards and best Wishes.

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
Varsity Basketball Coach.
