Allen The University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I have been absent from the city for the last two weeks and have missed out on two things which I regret. The first one was the Father and Son banquet at the First Methodist Church, where I attend. I am sorry to have missed this but reports are all very favorable. The men and boys were delighted with you ur | talk to them. The second thing I regret is - I was unable to get a letter in for the collection of letters of greeting which were being sent in from your friends. I have admired the fine work you have done over the years and want to be considered one of your admirers and friends. 7 Very sincerely, : Vj UN V =) HT) HN) Cree diyek
