I was only relieved Tuesday when
Mrs. Taylor received a letter clear
ing the whole matter.
few days ago Mrs. Taylor was
the recipient OF a letter from the
keeper OF a rooming house in Chi
\ cago. The letter informed her that
a young man, in whose clothes was
/ found a letter addressed TO herself
\ in which she was called Dearest
/ Mother had suddenly gone insane
/ and after being taken from one in
stitution 10 another had been left at
a home for the friendless. no rela-
tives having been found. The young
man had but recently rented a room
and had given his name as Howard
! Mendeu. He had gone 10 work at
the Presbyterian hospital at 3
/ O'Clock in the morning and during
the forenoon he became insane. the
letter stated.
Mr. and Mrs Taylor have a son,
Ernest. in Chicago who but recent
~ returned there after two weeks
spent at the home of his parents
here recuperating from injuries re-
ceived in an automobile accident
Mrs. Z. r. Ball, a daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs Taylor telephOned 10 the
garage where Ernest Taylor's en-
| ployer. Paul Leoni keeps his auto
mobile and an attendant informed
her that Taylor had been there but
few moments before. She left
word 10 have him call their mother
as soon as possible. When no call
came Mrs. Ball telephoned 10 Mrs.
Leoni who stated that she had not
seen Ernest for a week This state
ment did not tend 10 throw any
light on the matter. sunday Mrs.
Taylor received a call from Ernest
saying he was all right. Tuesday
she received tive letter which was
found in MendeVs room and for
warded 70 her by the rooming house
keeper IL was a letter dated July
II. written at tile Presbyterian hos
pital where her son was taken after
the accident and written by him tell
ing her all about his injuries.
The entire misunderstanding orig
mated at the hospital when young
Taylor gave an attendant his letter
TO mail during his inability TO do so.
Evidently the man pocketed the tip
and forgot to mail the letter thus
causing the parents Of Ernest Tay-
Tor undue worry and suspense.
Failure to receive that letter
caused Mrs Taylor much worry
nearly a month ago. Not knowing
how badly her son was injured, she
had written him asking him, if he
were able, to tell her all about it.
10 relieve her mind. He wrote the
letter but as she did not receive il
experienced great anxiety before he
was able TO leave the hospital and
come home.
