Dr. Forrest C. Allen,
Athletic Director,
Kansas University,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Dr. Allens:

Mr. Reid has returned from his little trip north and has told me of
the very pleasant visit that he had with you and the boys and how
thrilled he is with the prospects this year for you and your team.
And, of course, it is needless to tell you how very much interested I
was, or how eagerly we search the papers each morning for any little
bit of basket ball news from Lawrence.

We are looking forward with a great deal of pleasure to seeing the
games in Stillwater, Friday and Saturday, and I am sure they will be
good ones, and of course, I am praying that our team comes out victor-
ious. Mr. Reid and I are coming and Mrs. Engelman, Howard's mother,
is coming along with us, so I am wondering if you will be so kind as
to get three tickets for us. We may not get there very early, because
I will not be able to leave my office before five o'clock, and in the
event that we should have any car trouble, it might be that we could
not get there in time to see you all before the game.

Among the pleasant anticipations of the trip down there, stands out
prominently, the pleasure of seeing you again. I am most sincere, Dr.
Allen, when I tell you that the contacts I have had with you since you
have had Bruce, have been the source of real pleasure and satisfaction
to me. You have not only helped Bruce over the tough spots but you
have buoyed me along as well.

With very kind regards and best wishes, I am

ee yours, \
307 South First Street. ace ders
