Mr. John Cress,

Dear John:

This is a belated acknowledgment of your very
fine letter of March 14th. I greatly appreciate your

loyalty °

I am happy to know of your promotion and success
at Maxwell Field. Please give my regards to Raymond
Swanson when you see him.

We have had to release Pr. Elbel, as you imow, to
the Army Air Corps at Tulsa; where he is Associate Director
of Physical Training. The rest of us have taken over his
work here at the University, and we find that it keeps us

quite busy.
With best wishes to you and Mrs. Cress, I an

Very sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation,
