MRS. HOOVER joins me in extending deepest sympathy to you and your children in the passing of Mr. Bok. The Nation has lost a most distinguished and useful citizen whose life must ever be an inspiration to its youth.
Note: The message was sent to Mrs. Edward W. Bok, Lake Charles, Fla.
Mr. Bok was editor of the Ladies Home Journal from 1889 to 1919 and was the author of numerous articles and books.
