Dear "Phogt:

I have been waiting until the last moment before writing
you regarding a golf game Saturday morning. luch as we hate
to admit it, old age has at last caught up with Doc King and
Mice Ahearn. Doc has been under the weather for nearly two
weeks with an attack of lumbago and a severe casé of cold.

He is just getting back some of his strength and we hope that
he will be as good as ever within the next week or two. d,
abso am the victim of a rather incomvenient cold. We have
decided that we can't take it any more. We certainly would
have enjoyed playing at the Lawrence course with you and any
friend that you might select, and believe it or not, some fine
day we are going to try and get an opportunity vo come down
and enjoy a round of golf with you.

It don't seem quite right for me not to be writing you
concerning the arrangements for the game Saturday, and I
assure you that I miss the Conference Association with such
fellows as you and Benny Owens.

Thanks a lot for your kind invitation and some day if
Doc King and I.can find time to visit the fountain of youth,
we may be in shape to give you some competition at the grand
old Bame of golf.

As ever I am
Sincerely yours,

_

Me #, Ahearn
Director
