Dear Truett:
This will acknowledge receipt of your note enclosing the
letter from Mr. & Mrs. Homer Hughes, Routel, Lueders, Texas,
relative to their son.
It appears that the son is a person who is physically in-
volved to the extent that he might be eligible for Aid to Totally Dis -
abled Persons. This program is administered by the Department of
Public Welfare. I am taking the liberty of forwarding this letter to
Dr. John Winters, Commissioner, Department of Public Welfare,
Austin, Texas, requesting that he determine if this person can be as-
sisted through this agency. It is apparent that the family does notwish
to place this subject in an institution at this time. The letter does not
reflect whether or not he is mentally retarded in addition to his physical
handicaps. At a later date institutionalization might be necessary and we
will give the case consideration at that time.
It was a pleasuring hearing from you and look forward to
seeing you at "High Noon" on July 10.
Sincerely,
Raymi d . owe
Executive Director
