Dear “Phog":

You will never know how digappointed we were not to
meet you at Sawrence last Saturday. Perhaps we were just a
bit more disappointed that you were not at the train to
greet us with your usual ounny smile, and offer to take us
sight-seeing in “awrence., We were especially expectant of
@ visit with you since we had wrdtten such a pathetic letter
about our lumbago and chest colds. You must be hard hearted
when such an appeal could not reach your heart.

Seriously,"Phog", "Doc" and 1 didiwant to see you and have
& visit with you, but we know enough about the duties that are
expected of a married man. We therefore, congratulate you on
attending to those duties that should and must come first in
any married man's home. I imagine that this fall Mrs. Allen
has enjoyed sitting with you during the football games. For
So many years you have found it necessary to be other places
and, now that you have an opportunity to take her to the games
f know that you must get quite a thrill out of the procedure.

It was mighty fine of you to write us a congratulatory
letter and I assure you that it is deeply appreciated.

Kind personel regards and I am
Sincerely yours,

t

M. F. Ahearn
Director
