it was likely to happen, and I think your mother thinks he may have had a slight one but not enough to paralyze him. She says he cant remember names and she doesn't think he senses things very clearly. She said he spoke about the folks in Washington and about Doris coming home just to stay over a night if she could, but your mother couldn't decide just whether she ought to send for you or not. I told her I would write you and tell you just how she told me he was and you could decide for yourself. Dr. Ewing told her he "wasn't going to kid her along" and that he couldn't offer much encouragement. So I think I have told it just as she told me. We saw him Sunday and talked with him, but your mother thought I had better not talk with him now and that he must be quiet. He is up and about the house. Sorry to have to write this kind of a letter, but think you ought to know and your mother wanted me to do it. Will write or wire if conditions require. 

Love from Ralph
