Carl E. Reppun '33 had the saddest story of the recipients of the letters.

Believing firmly is the genuineness of the letter, Reppun added, "I never even knew there was anything the matter with...

Mr. Edgett of the Transcript did not find it amusing, but in general it had a good press and is still among...
...Saddest of all was Louisville, Ky. which has virtually no hills. Three-fourths of the city, at flood crest, was inundated. Its business and residential districts alike were in water, its Negro shanties and mansions of the rich. Its electricity was off, its power-station partly submerged in the yellow flood. Over 230,000 Louisville people were homeless, at least 200 dead (no official figures), few of them by drowning, most from exposure. Property loss was estimated...
