THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER ROCHESTER, NEW YORK February 8, 1941 Dr. Forrest C, Allen Director of Physical Education and Recreation University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doc: I am sure you haven't time to carry on a regular correspondence with a punk like me but I simply had to drop you just a note of thanks for your recent letter. Alice and I were so sorry to hear about your home disaster! We can imagine how upset Mrs. Allen must have been because she told Alice,at such great length, about how hard she had worked to put her home in apple- pie order just before leaving on the eastern trip. We do hope that you at least had insurance to cover all of your ruined decorations and furnishings, With thanks again for your kind letter and with best personal regards to your family, and good luck in the balance of the season's schedule, I am eee Dudley 8.
