In Reply Refer to U.S. 2 eee May 16, 1945 Forrest J. Allen Director of Abhhletics University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doc: Your letter arrived, and it was just the right dope. Outside of orders home, it was about the biggest moral booster I could get. However, i'm afraid, the boys from the East coast had a correspondenly decrease in moral. I just put your letter on the bulletin board in the wardroom, then sat back and watched their faces as they read it. There wasn't much they could say. a Thanks a million Doc, it was a great letter. JI would be tickled to death to get your "Rebounds". I havn't fun into any of the old gang yet, but I have been hitting right around several of them all the time. One of these days we'll contact, and if there is anything of interest I will shoot it on to you. Kindest personnal regards, we Cla Wayn Peres Jr. UBNR USS Mérkab FPO San Francisco BA fue #2
