Dear Dr. Allen:

I am rather slow in answering your last letter, which I appreciated
very much, but I was unable to come to work for almost a week and haven't
had much energy to do anything much.

Your promise to handle the situation in a manner for Bruce's best interest
was indeed most assuring and consoling to me as I have the utmost confidence
in your judgmant and sincere interest in Bruce.

It is most regrettable that it all had to happen and I have had quite some
difficulty reconciling myself to it but there isn't any doubt in my mind
about your fairness and good intention.

The saving straw of the whole business and the thing that makes me feel more sure
that it will ever happen again is that Bruce was so remorseful when he was

home, not at,resentful toward anyone and blaming nobody in the world but him-
self.

He called me up last Sunday, seemed to be very elated because he was going
to practice basket ball in just a few minutes and all pepped over his new
course. I haven't heard from him since and don't know how things stand now
but feel sure everything must be going along satisfactorily or I would have
heard from one of you.

I am just wondering if Bruce will get a letter this year. 1 always appreci-
ate hearing from you, for I realize you are very, very busy, and I know that
you have many, many more important things to do.
With very kind regards and every good wish, I am

Sincerely yours,

eke!
