Dear Jim,
The attached letter explains itself. Will you please write to the Police Officials at Havana, Cuba and try to dig Barney up. He may have gotten drunk after getting out of the hospital or may have been slugged or thrown into the Bay or other hiding place.
Description. 5 ft 7--Age 70 or over--mustache usually dyed--brown eyes, false teeth, Roman nose, etc.--
It is important to find him on account of P.B.A and other matters.
Here’s hoping that “you all” are as well as we are.
With Affectionate Regards,
Francis O’Neill
Tell Julia not to mention this just now.
