Dear Mr. Allen:

Your very complete and helpful letter
of June & arrived on the eve of our Commencement
activities which ended yesterday. I regret that
I have not had an opportunity to acknowledge it
more promptly. You were most courteous to so fully
amplify the personal recommendation blank which you
have filled out for Lyle Stephenson Powell with your
letter. When Dr. and Mrs. Powell and Lyle, Jr. and
his younger brother visited Culver enroute to New
York City they impressed us most favorably. Lyle,
Jr. showed up well on our scholastic aptitude tests
and we shall be happy to admit him to the Academy
upon your recommendation because we feel that he
will have no difficulty in meeting the scholastic
entrance requirements.

Dr. Powell certainly is very modest. He
merely mentioned that he held a Colonel's Com-
mission in the Reserve Corps, but said nothing of
his World War record. We shall be delighted to

have the Dr. and Mrs. Powell as our patrons.

The very interesting information you have
given us concerning Mr. Dick Williams is also ap-
preciated and will be placed in the file of his
son, who, as you know, will attend Culver this sum-
mer by way of getting an introduction to our train-
ing.

Mrs. Henderson and the youngsters join.
me in sending best wishes and kindest regards to
you and Mrs. Allen and your fine family. Our old-
est son, Bob, left early this morning for Englewood,
New Jersey. He will spend eight weeks this summer
