D e ar Mr . Kenne dy , - 



Some days ago I receiver] on my return to Toronto, a copy of 

 an ''In Memoriam" booklet. There was nothing to indies te where it 

 came from and I never dreamed that it referred to one of your family. 

 Hov/ever, I phoned my Secretary who is working et my hotise, to look 

 up the Kennedy geneology in my hook proofs rnd surely enough I 

 found that the "booklet wes s memorial of your dearwife. 



Since then I have your letter of the £Oth. Strange thot the 

 day I received your letter, I hed a cahle stating that my youngest 

 brother , Charles, Manager of the Canadian Associated Press, had 

 died in London. 



'Hell, we all in due course will pass away. Words either spoken 

 or written are simply lost in ones effort to express sympathy, for 

 their is no healing for grief s ch as yours in the syrnpethy that 

 goes out frofc my heart to your home in your hour of cr-mshing sorrow. 



Its saddening to watch our dear ones leave us. I'm the only 

 one left of four brothers t-nd one sister and I'm the eldest at that. 



I have read the booklet, Mr. Eeid's remarks were most appro- 

 priate - so kindly put - so synjathetic . 



I am much obliged for your letter re the proof. I am going to 

 follow your advise as to the figures. You certainly shall have a 

 copy of the book. 



I am leaving on Sunday for Mia,mi, Flsnrida for a month. I had 

 intended to go weeks ago but such pressure of work hns held me here. 

 I do hope that some day when I am in Boston, I may have the plea- 

 sure of going out to Headvllle for half an hour to see you. 



Yours sincerely. 



JHE/L .
