My dear Dr. Allen:

Would you be available for an address before a men's group,
at the Countryside Christian Church, Mission, on Wednesday
evening, March 15? Our Church is young, but progressive.
It is located here in a fine residential area, just west of
the Plaza, and about a mile east of the Shawnee-Mission
High School. Most of our membership are college graduates.
You may remember Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Prosser, who played
tennis at K. U.. They are regular attendants, and there are
other Kk. U. graduates.

If you can come, we will invite as special guests the Shawnee-
Mission High School basket ball team, and the grade teams of
three nearby schools. I'm sure they would all be pleased to
meet and hear you, and our men would be greatly pleased. We
offer no honorarium save expenses.

Mrs. Large and I heard you at Emporia early in December, last,
just before assuming the work here. You spoke at a large
gathering of Emporians at the Broadview Hotel. We told you
at the time that we hoped to see your team play in Kansas City
sometime. That pleasure is yet in the future - but we still
look forward to it.

It will please us greatly if you can come. I know you are a
busy man, and that it is asking a preat deal of you. But we
want youe Please let me know.

With every good wish, and with kindest personal regards, Iam

Yours very truly, _
