Allen, Director Department of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear "Phog": Thanks very much for your letter of December 7, inviting me to attend the basketball game Saturday night, December ll. I should have written you long before tais, but we have had a lot of sickness in the office, and I have been pretty busy with some Washington representa- tives. I told Karl Klooz yesterday to tell you that I appreciated your invitation very much and I was sorry that I couldn't accept, as Mrs. Shaeffer is not feeling very well and my daughter, Anne, will be at the University for a dance Saturday night. I sincerely regret that you could not be at our luncheon, and I will look forward to having the oppor- tunity of seeing you again in the very near future. Thanking you, and with kindest personal regards, I remain Yours very sincerely, Charles B. eer
