University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Dr Allen:

I received your copy of the letter which you
forwarded to Dr. Bellwood, Flagstaff, Arizone, Thank
you for your co-operation, Did not make the grade there,
putthat is the way those things go.

Since 1940-the summer I finished up my advanced

' degree at Lawrence, I have been on the job teaching. I was
two years at Buena Vista, Colorado. And by the way about
every place I go the people know of Dr. Allen. I am always
proud that I took work in your department. My only regret
being that I did not do the work that I did in the regular
academic manner--that is get the hours credit which I could
have done. But the work that I did was taken under good
men and that fact Helps,

We are now here in Casa Grande, Arizona. This
country out here is, I believe, the coming section of our
nation in the future. Ith has been developed considerably
but all the talk is of the coming possibilities after
the war. That is to say that much more water will be
brought into the valleys. We like it out here very
much, The winters are jut about ideal; they do not .
even have frost. We are just 60 miles from Phoenix,
and Tucson, Both very fine cities.

We have lost contact with activities around
Lawrence, but think often of you folks there. lHven
though one does leave his native state it seems still
to be home, '

If you by any chance should come to Arizona
for a visit we would be very happy if you would stop
for a visit with'us here,

Hope that youw work is going on as sucess-
fully as ever. Give our regards to the other members
of your family.
