Dear Brother Jack:

é Gee, your letter was swell and I appreciated it very, very much.
I don't write you as often as I should. In fact, I have neglected all -
of my K boys who have written in, but I am going toe write a mimeographed .
lattas' Se 0.1) ob Geaia tare Wk Sale Gltvanian wk 3 at aie Se weal
you a copy of this letter. This will bring you up on their whereabouts
and what they are doing. T know that you will get a buzz out of thet.

Anda thank you, too, Jack, for sending me the copy of the Cinoin-
nati Enguirer of April 7th containing General Lear's speech. I have
always been a great admirer of General Lear when he put the yoo-hoo boys
on their feet for a long march. He is a strick disoiplinarien and a
great leader. I got a tremendous tug and buzz out of this speech. It
is exactly what all of us civilians need, and I wish there were more
General. Lears in the Army. I imow that we have a swell army, but just
as he said, we at home ought to want to make the boys in the army proud
of us, ani I am sure that they would be very much ashamed if they knew i
some of the things that some of us civilians perpetrate in the name of
patriotism. I like his absentee observation tremendously.

Thanks, Jack, for your fine compliments on the tean. Frankly,

I thought we would heave the worst season since 1929, but some time I
cn going to toli you, or rather, 1 believe I will write it to t to the K
boys and you will get the story from that. And I will not forget to
do it, Jask. You will hear from me shortly.

I just got a letter the other day from Fred. He had two fine things
happen to him. Ue was called back into basketball service with the
Phillips team and his five goals the night of the finals at Denver won
the National A.A.U. championship for Phillips. And then he has a fine
baby daughter that arrived just about the time the championship occurred.
Fred has matured tremendously, and I am very proud of him.

Thanks, again, Jack, on Rotary. They voted me in as president
last Monday night, and I only trust that I oan be as successful with
Rotary as have my fine predecessors. ee ,
