Dear “Cappy”,

Ralph just came in and told me of the unexpected passing of your
mother's i want to assure you that my sincere sympathy goes to
_ you at this tine. -

There is something about our atnhhconndie with our mother that is
different from anything else and regardless of how long we have
them we never really expect the paening»

Ralph told me that you and rei Mi llor had suspected perhaps a
malignant growth, and if that should have proved to be the case,

I think your mother's going so quickly was a blessing. In thie
world of strife and struggle, sometimes I think that those who are
ieft are the real sufferers.

Please accept Mrs, Allen's and wy heartfelt sympathy.
| Sincerely, |

Director of Physical Edueation and Recreation
