essary for me to part with him
again and to send him 10 the hos
pitaL 1 am at a loss what to do.
and my fear is lest lose my mind.
My health never was any too
good. but now 1 am beginning to
feel how fast it fails me. If only
the President would know what
Doree's liberty means to me now.
Would it be possible to let the Presi-

lives of me and my baby by letting
DOree come home and help me take
care of him.
For some weeks. Doree's case has
been up for consideration. The
