16 Aug. 1970 Dear Jack. triple underline: You may be the Rev. Jack TOOTS Conroy but you now have 2 rivals besides E. Stanley Jones and Billy Graham, the white house Evangelist. I allude to Rev. Wm Stracke dotted line arrow pointing to right edge of paper: over and Rabbi/Rev Studs Terkel. On Aug 15 (feast of Mary's Assumption) I went to Mass and Communion with the true believers at ST. Clement's - and then to the Memorial Service for Sally Griffith, 24. We had a black organist, Studs and ? and hymn #419 "O god of Earth and Altar" - word by G. K. Chesterton! Aug. 15 was Napoleon's 201st. birthday. Like Chesteron, he died Catholic.

   If you had told me when I was 21 (1928) I'd be in a Presbyterian Chapel on Assumption Day with any intention other than arson I would have thought you demented.
   You'd better Book Studs and ? now for your "Songs at the Graveside" when the time comes.   Joe Diggles (63)
