NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY DALE H. CARMEAN NEW ENGLAND BUILDING TOPEKA, KANSAS PHONE PHONE OFFICE 8194 HOME 25989 September 29, 1944 Dr. Forrest C. Allen Kansas University Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: First I want to again thank you for your generosity in coming up to Topeka and making the fine talk which you gave to our Employer-Employee dinner. I asked Wayne McCoy if he had asked you if you would let us remunerate you in some way for this trip and he advised me that he had asked you and that your generosity again came to the front and you told him all you would care to accept would be your expenses. We are enclosing herewith our check in the amount of $10.00 which we all feel is small in comparison with the good which you did. ee | With kindest personal regards, I am Sincerely your friend, Dale H. Carmean DHC/s Ine.
