Dear Melvins

Agein it is one of those cases where. we are to be on the
run when we go to Coldwater. Fred Ellsworth has it planned that I
am going to Dodge City for a noon luncheon on June 28 and then to
Coldwater in the evening of June 28. Then I was planning on catche
ing a train back to Lawrence because I have summer school on and
in the rush of things I will not be able to be away from home addi-
tional days at that time. Really, Mutt, I am coming to visit you some
time when you are not harvesting ard sometime when I have more time
than the law allows me at the present. | :

‘ Thank you a thousand times for the offer of that fine
steak. I will tell you what you can do for me, if you will, If
you want to put a couple of nice steaks in some dry ice in a pox
and parcel post them to Mrs. Allen and me at 831 Louisiana, don't
think -we would not be delighted to have them. Meat is a real probe
lem here. I have not sufferred though, but Mfse Allen does miss

it more than I do. | Hee

We sold our big home at 801 Louisiana and moved into a
cottage which Mrs. Allen bought for Mi%ton when he finished law school.
Milton has bought his own home out on Vermont and we have moved into
the cottage, where we enjoy it much more with lots less work and up=

I have written Fritz Crisler for four tickets for the
Michigan-Army game at Ann Arbor for October 12. I will hold your
check here in the safe until I find the amount. Also, I would not
want to send your check because I would have a better opportunity
“of getting those tickets for myself than I would if he thought I was
getting them for someone else. :

With all good wishes, f am

Sincerely yours,
