Dear Paul:
First let me thank you for your letter. I appreciate your letting me in on the problems you face. Life has certainly ganged up on you. I hope I can be of some help.
There should be a way of combining your excellent background of flying experience with other skills and knowledge to produce something very valuable. What type of work are you doing now? Are you taking some sort of job training? Have you worked very much with computers? Do you have any administrative experience? In your saner moments, what goals do you have in the back of your mind?
It is very important that you are able to hang on to your car. How much do you still owe? Would it help if I sent you $100 a month during this year? You can consider

it as an interest free loan, if you like, and pay it back when you get on your feet.
I have great confidence in your ability to come through this crisis, and you will then be a much stronger man than before. Your welfare and happiness mean more to me than you realize. You are not alone.
Do keep in touch -
Your devoted
Uncle Dan
P. S. I am everlastingly grateful to you for the beautiful color photo of Aletha and myself. Have you ever read "The Power of Positive Thinking"? Aletha had a copy, which I'd be happy to send on to you if you want it. D.
P. S. I went through some of this myself: when I was in Europe. It ain't pretty! D.
