Dear Gregory:

I wes shocked when Pr. Don Garlos Peete told me
that he had noticed in the peper of the passing of your
brother, Alex R.'Hodges. I had not know that he waa 111
and it seems difficult for me to believe. I was extremely
fond of Alex. Ne was such a grand chap.

Will you please convey to Alex's wife and child
my sincerest sympathies? And to you, I want you to know
that I also extend my sincerest sympathy. Will you tell
your sister that Alex wes one of my favorites. There is
so little a person can sey or do in a time like this, but
I did want you to know that T too widerstand.

With all good wishes, T am

Fraternally yours,
