Dear Dr. Allen:

I am ashamed for not having written you sooner, but I
have been pretty busy. I hope that you are getting along
O. K.

I am still planning to come to school. I hag about given
it up for a while but it is raining outside now. The wheat
is looking pretty good now. I hope it goes ahead and makes s
something.

You had tough luck in the finals at K.C. I was pulling
for you every inck of the way put it didn't help much. Ind.
must have had quite a ball team. It sure sounded like it
over the radio.

I see by the paper that you got some of your new rules
put into effect. Congradulations} I think they are 0.K.

(as if it would make any difference) I really think that
basketball can be made the best and most popular sport there
is. I know that it is my favorite sport.

Well I must close now and get to bed for I have to work
tomorrow. I am still working on the ranch and we work rain or

Ga rein. Hoping to see you this fall.

Sincerely yours
