Dear Kap:

ri was sure that you had gotten Rebounds Nos. 16 and
17, but for fear that you haven't I am mailing them out today
to youe I have not written the Rebound 18 which was started |
on July 25. Mrs. Hulteen resigned her position July 1 to
raise her family, and I have had two secretaries since. I
dictated the first of the Rebound to my first secretary, but
she left two weeks ago to have her mother operated on. She
was to wire me the next day when she would return. I have
not heard from her to this date, so I imagine the surgeon
operated upon her. I trust that it was not fatal, but I have
no way of knowing. te

Francis was in last week and I had quite a visit
with him. He brought me up to date on your operation, which
. your letter confirmed. He is looking fine and hopes to see
you.

You will get a kick out of Englemants crack about
the Newton boys.

_I was glad to learn of the Goal-Hi installments
around your swimming pool. ;

I certainly will see that you get the next Rebound
pronto as soon as we are able to get it out. With all good
wishes to your complete and speedy recovery, I am

_ Sincerely yours,

‘Forrest C. Allen
