The Convocation has been fixed to be held at 6-00 P. M. on Thursday, February 23, 1989. I request you kindly to be present on the occasion and receive the awards and prices on behalf of your late daughter.
I know it is quite painful for a mother to receive these awards posthumously on behalf of her daughter; but strange are the ways of God.
While my sympathies are with you. I look forward to your presence at the Convocation on Thursday, February 23, 1989.
