Dear Dr. Allen:

I was certainly delignted to receive your letter during
my recent illness in Louisville.

It so happened that the condition in my foot and leg,
that I talked to you about at the national convention, kept
steadily getting worse. We had trouble in locating the
difficulty. They found that an old injury to my back was
causing pressure on my spinal cord. It was necessary to go
in there, so they chipped out a little bone too. It so
happened that my pelvis was out of line so they performed an
operation to straighten it out also.

I was confined to the hospital for thirty-two days and
returned to Lexington this past Monday evening. I still
need to have help to get in and out of bed and I am not able
to walk without some means of support. However all of the
pain that I had is gone and after all, that is what we were
after.

Mrs. Rupp joins me in sending our best wishes to you
and Mrs. Allen.

Sincerely yours,

Adolph F, Rupp
