Dear Bobbys

I started to write you a letter this morning to
tell you thet I had written to Mr. C, E, MePride, the
Sports Editor of the Kensas City Ster, Mr. Alston MeCarty,
a former varsity pitcher of the University of Kansas back ~
in 1910, "ll and '12, stopped by the hotel and I was pre-
vented from finishing your letter, He brought me out here
and very kindly permitted me to dictate a letter here.

I told Mec that we had our tickets for the game
for Saturday night, but we were desirous of playing golf
Seturday afternoon in Kansas City, I asked him to make
provisions if he would at Mission Hills or one of the other
Country Clubs so we could play. I am to call him Saturday
morning from Lawrence. I wanted you to know this so that
you would feel that I had completed the detail as you had

 T am leaving here tomorrow afternoon st 3:50 for
home. I had plenned to go to Topeka on the Union Pacific ©
and then double back to Emporia on the Santa Fe out of
fopeka. The Union Pacific arrives too early, something
like 5:30; so I plan to go on to Lawrence, teach my class,
and then take the car and drive to Emporia for the Thursday
night high school tournement, I may drive back to Lewrence
fhursday night because I have the draft board meeting on
Friday morning at 10:00, and then I could drive to Manhattan
for Friday night for the high school banquet there, This is
all detail, but you can count on my being in Lawrence, Kansas,
Seturday morning, and we will drive up according to the plens
that Mother has with you and Jean, I imagine you will get
away from the hospitel about noon, but I will have the morning,
Friday, so that we can start early in the afternoon for golf.
