Dear Phogs

We have: just completed an agreement by which we have
formed a new partnership between the members of this firm
and J. Milton Sullivant under the firm name and style of
Sheridan, Bishop & Sullivant.

Milton has been with us now about a year and three
months and we believe that the new firm will constitute
a very practical and successful arrangement. On account of
his connection with K. U. athletics and particularly football,
we though that it might be possible for you to mention the

matter to McBride or some of the fellows on the Star and

possibly some of the other papers. Milton says that mite
often the Star mentions present occupations or some new line
of endeavor of fellows who have been prominent in athletics.

This, of course, is confidential, and it may be impractical,
but we thought we would mention it to you. We know that you :
quite often happen to meet these fellows in the course of your
athletic activities and it might be of considerable service to
Milton and the firm to have the matter mentioned in that way.

Of course, you realize the handicaps under which the legal prof-
ession operates in regard to any form of advertisement or pub-
licity, but we thought perhaps a short comment in McBride's
column or elsewhere on the sports page might mention that
Sullivant, the captain of the '39 team,is now practicing law in
Paola as a member of the firm of Sheridan, Bishop & Sullivant.

I hear from Michael occasionally and I guess everything
is going all right with the boys in Philadelphia. Michael is
not getting good enoughk grades to set the world on fire, but

-so far he seems to have ssed in everything, and after all that

is the main thing. Michael gives us very good reports of Bob
also. I was not a bit mad about the Navy taking over the boys
and I presume that you did not make any big fuss about it either.
I presume the Army, which evidently took over Bob, makes the same
arrangements about the expenses as does the Navy.

With kindest personal regards, I am

BLS/RMF . Yours. os ¢ !
