January 11th., 1942, Dear Mrs. Dillman: For quite some time I have wanted to write to you as, should you not already have heard the sad news, I wanted to let you know that my friend and associate, Rolf Hans Waegen, has passed away. I know what very sincere feelings he had towards you, and had it not been for the fact that I have been in ill health myself for the past few months, you would have been among the first I would have written to. After one attack of pneumonia, Hans developed a very bad heart condition, which did not sustain a new siege of pneumonia in the latter part of the Summer. The visit I paid you in his company in your superb home in Detroit, has remained among my most pleasant recollections, and his enthusiasm and the pleasure he derived from it are still fresh in my mind. I do hope you will understand why I didn't write to you earlier, and, with personal regards, Believe me to be, Yours very sincerely, Mrs. Hugh Dillman, 12 Lake Shore Road, Grosse Pointe, Mich.
