It is with deep regret that I tell you Mr. Jardine died very suddenly on June 12th. We were on a business trip to Cleveland when he was suddenly taken with a heart attack and passed away before anything could be done. We have not made our formal announcement as yet, but since you knew Mr. Jardine so well I wanted you to have the information at this time, and would appreciate your conveying this news to Mr. Coverley. Yours very truly, V.C.Young V.C.Young V | ||
