Lewrence, Kensas,

My Dear Phog:«

This is a hard letter for me to write because Mrs. Ruther~
ford and I are so very grateful to you for your kininess in examining
Connie and directing the course of treatment she should have and I know
before I start that nothing I can or will say here will adequately ex=
presse that gratitude.

and Connie told her mother yesterday how wonderfully you treated
her,we feel thet the battle is half won already because she has so much
confidence in you and is so assured that the treatment suggested by you
will correct her trouble.

We have been so worried about the girl for over @ year and
the doctor's guessing and prescriptions did not produce the desired re~
sultse As I explained to you the day I telked to you, Connie is a
violin major and naturally we would like for her to get her degree next
year and we are hopeful that the treatment prescribed by you will make
that possible, although she and we can and will forgo that satisfaction
if,in your opinion, she should not play the violin so much hereaftere
Connie is quite embitous and I believe that Prof. Gelch will tell you

she has considerable talent.

When I came over to telk to you ebout Connie it was with
the intention of paying you es I would anyone else and I am cepeligg mers
emberrassead by your refusal to eccpt a fee. Neturally, we oe si
ly indebted to you and I sincerely hope thet you will give me ppo r=
tunity some day to do something for you in return.

Please accept this expression of gra ti
I cam see you end persorally thamk you for Connie,

myself.

tude and thenks until
Mree Rutherford and
