Dear Newt:

IT am doggone sorry that I waited so long in answering your
fine letter. Gee{ I was tickled pink _ Carolyn “is your daughter,
who had been chosen queen of the Relays. fe fs a beautiful girl ana T
— you and your good wife on having such a wonderful manne

You know, Newt, these youngsters grow up so fast that we
oldsters just can't keep up with them. Golly$ I wish Carolyn had have
told me of her ancestral ties. It would have given me a great pleasure
to have told her how much I thought of her dad, and then, if she had told
me that you were in the audience, I certainly would have looked you up,
instead of driving through the audience up-to the press stand to ee to
some of the newspaper writers.

? T was really looking for someone to have a visit with and, ~~ ' °*

while I do not want to blame Carolyn or anyone for not informing me, I

still regret that I could not have utilized that ‘time of all times in

spinning yarns with one of the old Phi Psis of whom I was most fond.

While therevere a lot of good Phi Psis in those days, I always remember

the genial humor and friendliness you always had, You had a sense of

balance that was most pleasing to me. The othor fellow whom I remember

with great affection is Charles Blackmor, I always held him in most

friendly and high esteem. :

Isn't it a darn shame, Newt, that live with 911 its come
plexities does not allow us time to sit down and visit about the things
that meant so much to us in our early life?’

It is good of you end most generous to say the fine things
that you say regarding our work here at the University of Kansas. Of
course, it pleases me to no end to have good friends léke you say such ~-
things, for I am conscious at all times of the individuals who violently
disagree with you regarding my merits. However, being so human we like
to have fellows like you tell us those- snbaees

Again with congrathlations to you and your fine family ead:
in the eae. breath expressing a hope that we do get time for a friesdty
visit over "ye olden daya" » I am

Yours in the Bond,
