Dear Dr. Allens

I just received a most welcome addition of your latest
"Rebounds". Inclosed is a little clipping that describes one of
the activities carried on here at Camp Butner under the direction
of my office.

I am fortum te in having a staff of officers and enlisted
men who are well qualified for their individual jobs. However,
versatility is essential because our work differs so much from
day to day. Our Athletic program here is mre of the show type
rather than one of participation. Captain Robert G. Ayers, our
Athletic Director, is at the present time, coaching a mst suc-
cessful baseball team. Their record to date is 10 wins out of
13 games played. I am hoping that he will be as successful with
our football team in the Fall,

My supervision includes that of the libraries, Service
Clubs, theaters, athletic programs, theatrical shows of all kinds,
and the supply of all recreational facilities,

My wife and little girl Victory Lee, aged 24 years, are
in fine health and with mew We are all anxious for any news from
Mount Oread and read the Jayhawk Rebounds together each time they
come. Please give my regards to all of our friends.

Sincerely yours,

, FRANK (J
