Dear Phog:

I am sorry I did not get the chance to visit with
you at Kansas City but I hastened from the auditorium to catch
a train home, Anyway, I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year as well as a successful basketball season.

I hope I get to see your son work a game or two
this season. Both my boys are in the service, Rex, the elder,
is a Major in Paris and works in the still picture pool in
Public Relations, The younger son completed his missions on
a Liberator last fall and arrived home in time to be with us
over Christmas, He leaves tonight for Santa Monica, California,

I want to thank you for calling my attention to
the editorial in the Saturday Evening Post, It was a good
one and hit the nail right on the head, TFither McGrane or
myself undoubtedly will make some comment on it this week,

With kindest regards and the Season's Greetings, I

na
