Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Doctor Allen:

Many thanks for your note of December 25th. I regret that
it was not possible for us to meet in New York when you were here, but
Mr. Barron tells me that he had a short visit with you after the game.

Mrs. Brown was losing ground rapidly when I last wrote you
on December 16th. We moved her to the hospital on December 19th, and I
called Josephine by long distance telephone on the night of the 18th.
She arrived on Thursday night and Mrs, Brown was under the influence of
morphine so did not recognize any of us. However, we returned to the
hospital on the morning of the 20th and she recognized all of us and
had a short visit with Josephine. Death came at about five twenty-five
on the evening of the 2lst. She had suffered extremely with the
numerous attacks of pain, especially during the past two months.

I am presuming that Bob is registered at the University of
Pennsylvania, that is,tlam he has successfully met his personal interview
and will enter there next fall. I have taken the liberty of writing ..
the Nu oys there as per copy enclosed. I hope that this meets with
your approval and also that he will become a member of the fraternity.
Perhaps it would be best not to show him this letter, at least for the
present.

With kind regards,,

   

Yours very truly,
ae ae
