Dear Mre Andersons:

I have your statement in the amount of $1.53
for three pair of sm glasses, together with your note
saying that members of our baseball team forgot to leave
money for these glassese

I called the team together regarding this matter
and said that if anyone took the glasses they were to pay
for them, or I would have to pay the bill myself. The Kansas
team is not in the habit of doing such things, and the boys
told me none were takene

If there is any way you can give me information
regarding these glasses, I should like to hear from you
furthers

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation

Since hearing you at the Rotary District Assembly at
Olathe, Kansas, on July 9th, it has been the desire of those
present to have you speak at one of our Rotaryann meetings. In
Rotary parlance that means a night meeting at which the wives
of sadenreaas are guests,

After conferring with our progran chairman and the
chairman of the Rotaryann meetings, we have selected Monday,
Octoder 6th, for our first Rotaryann meeting, and we will be
honored indeed to have you speak to our club at that time if
it is convenient and acceptable to you. I doubt that you will
remember the three Lawrence Rotarians who talked to you immedi-
ately after the luncheon at Olathe regarding the possibility of
your coming. However, we did ask you at that time, and we are
following your suggestion at that time of wrftting to you regard-
ing a specified date.

Your talk carried atreueiins wallop. are a nost timely
message to all present, and we feel that, as a Rotary Club in a
university town, a great message for those who have not heard yous

We will feel ourselves fortunate indeed if you are
able to be with us on the night of October 6th. Please advise us
at your convenience regarding this, and we will furnish you further
details at once. May i say that your talk should be limited to
forty-five minutes. With the wives of the Rotarians in attendance,
we will be happy to have you bring Mrs, Konomos with you for the
dinner and social time afterwards.

Yours very truly,

STAW John T, Andrews

Dear Dr. Allen:

I received your letter of the 5th and it
surely brought back some fond memories and some familiar
names as well. I intended writing you a lot sooner, put
each time I delayed, hoping that I wouldn't have to write
this type of letter.

Dr. Allen, while I was away at school 4 good
many changes took place at home along with the present selec-
tive service system. The "draft" has taken its toll in my
family and now I am afraid I must stay at home and carry
my share of the burden. If I do continue my education, which
I sincerely hope to, it will have to be here in St. Louis.

Before I go any further I want.you to know
that my year at K.U. was without doubt the most education-
al year of my life. I say this not merely in a scholastic
manner, but in a physical, moral and social manner also.

And everytime I think of this I also think of you, Dr. Allen
because it was your guidance, help, and advice that made all
this possible for me. As you may see 1 am trying to thank
you, but words are inadequate to express my deep gratitude
for all you have done for me. I hope that this won't close
a friendship of which I am so proud and mention so often.

Thanking you again and hoping to hear from
you soon, I remain

Respectfully yours,

P.S. Lots of luck and success in this coming season, Hello
to old "Red" Dugan if he is still around.

Dear Phog:

With reference to Chester Gibbons, our Sales
Department here at Bartlesville has written Mr. Leo
Barry, Division Manager at Kansas City, Missouri,
calling to his attention the desire of Mr. Gibbons to
obtain employment with Phillips Petroleum Company.

Although there are apparently no openings in
the Kansas City Division at the present time, it seems
best to have the applicant contact Mr. Barry for the
reason that the Kansas City office would be the most
accessible to Gibbons.

In the meantime our Placement Division here
at Bartlesville will keep their eyes and ears open
for any other openings.

With best wishes, I remain

Sincerely yours,
KSA.JAT
