Dear Rev,. C: VIVA! The slogan "Wine is a mocker" I recall headed one of your more touching tracts - in Red letters. And here some WCTU female warrior carries our warfare right into sinful California. Rev. Burrell - once our prodigal son is dry 20 months May 18. He, Ken, Redmond and I spoke at downtown AA May 6. All went well. Garner is dry 3 years May 8 - while Ted Brown who ran you & him out of "Y" in late '43 is in Kawbabee State Hospital - an alcoholic. How goes the struggle? Any need of rejoining us? OR are you "saved" by literature - and Algren> - fraternally - Joe Diggles
