Dear Dr. Allen:

I know you will be sorry to hear that Bruce was operated on Sunday
for acute appendicitis. He has been working very hard this summer,
and making plans to go back to K U - what this will do for his plans
will have to be determined later when we know what the cost of his op-
eration is and how he gets along.

It was all very sudden but we took him just in time because gangrene
had set in but he is getting along fine - this is the third day and

the doctors say that it is usually the third day before they can teil
anything for sure. He is having some pain, today,but so far the doctors
tell us he is doing very well.

I will let you know how he gets along but in the meantime, if you are
not too busy, 1 am sure he would appreciate a line from you. He is at
the Mercy Hospital in Arkansas City. With every good wish, 1 am

Sincerely yours,

ott hae
