Mrs. Houts, I em writing you very frankly. Is Wilson.
or anyone eble to vay, or would you care to have him committed to a
state institution with only nominal expenses? ‘The thing that I feel,
since Wilson is a resident of Missouri, is that other states will re-
fuse to take him unless he is or becomes a resident of that state.

Do you care for me to look into this Drs. Ralph and
Ralph institution, find the cost and all details concerning the
treatment and care, and advise you further concerning this situation?
I will await your letter and as soon as 1 have the necessary inform-
ation I will immediately act on this and other data that you give
me, Will you also give me most of Wilson's background, what he has
been doing or ettempting to do, where he is living, and if he is
living with his wife, and so forth? I want this merely to better
help out in working on the problem. Has he been employed at a11?
And just how long has this total situation been going on?

When you see Wilson please tell him that he can count
On MCs

: Is Rod in the service? You say he writes from Newfound-

Please give Rod the Allen's sincerest regards. I know that he is a
great source of comfort to you.
