THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS LAWRENCE DEPARTMENT OF MuSiIc April 12, 1940 Dr. F. CO. Allen, Mgr. N.C.A.A. Basketball Tournament, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Dr. Allen: Thank you for your kind letter of April 10. I wish to say that it was a real pleasure to have an opportunity to work with you in a small way on the national basketball tournament. You are to be highly congratulated on the great achievements which you have made this year. It seems that Dr. Allen is in the habit of making great achievements, but it takes something like the Kansas City event to keep the people fully awake of what has been going on all along. | Hats off to you, Dr. Alleni. It was needless for you to send the little token which you sent in your letter, but I assure you that it is greatly appreciated and again I want to thank you. With kindest regards, and best wishes, I am RLW/j
