Dear Dr. Allen:

Our daughter, Pattie, was married in November to a
discharged Marine. Her husband, John J. Schmid, is most
anxious to enter the University of Kansas under the G.1I-Bill
at the beginning of the second semester. Will you kindly
give me information regarding the date of the new semester
and if it is at all possible to find a. small apartment in
Lawrence for the two of them. John is a graduate of the class
of "42" of Cheyenne High School and has, the proper qualifica-
tions for entrance to the Engineering School at the University.

Pattie would like very much to have a stenographic
position either at the University or in Lawrence in order to
supplement John's allotment as a student. She is now employed
as Clerk-Stenographer under Civil Service in the District OPA
Office in Cheyenne and retes very good in efficiency.

This is asking a great favor of you with all your
many duties, but as the daughter of "Fighting Tom" it will
mean so much to me to have another member of the family en-
rolled in dear old KU. I shall be glad to pay a substantial
deposit in order to hold an apartment if you should locate
one for the children. Wire me collect if it is at all possible
for John to enter KU by the end of the first semester.

With best wishes, I am

Very sincerely,

iyllab BM Auit, Pak
