Mr. and Mrs. Andre Carrette 3 Rue Bellevue Le Havre, France Dear Carrettes: Ruth, the boys, and I are all most grateful for your telegram of heartfelt sympathy. "Bouleverser" is exactly the word for what we have been going through! The original horror was enough to last most people for a lifetime and then to have the assassination of the suspect within 48 hours is just incredible. The worst of it is that those of us here in Texas cannot just sorrow - we have to accept a large degree of shame. Thank you for thinking of us and with all our love to your children, Yours sincerely,
