Dear Dr. Allens

Thank you very much for your letter. You have always been so nice to me and
considerate of my feelings.

I know and have known all along that Bruce's failure to fulfill in college the
promise he showed in high school is his own fault, and i feel only gratitude
to you and appreciation of your honest efforts for his good.

1 appreciate too your good wishes for Bruce, which 1 know, are honest and
sincere. If Bruce had just had in the beginning the clearer reasoning that he
has now, things might have been much different - however, I'm not going to
grieve over something that cannot now be helped. Bruce is young and he is
sweet and good and I am confident that everything will turn out all right for
hin.

1 have been watching with much interest the progress of your son, Bobby. Il
think he is a dear sweet boy and I'm thrilled at the brilliant showing he is
making, which I know holds much satisfaction and pleasure for you.

With every good wish for you and for him, 1 am

Sincerely yours,

Fanchon Reid
