Dear Dr. Allens:

Having again returned home I shall send a few
thoughts to you--the aftermath of my trip to Lawrence plus
a few ideas that I hope will help me return to school next
week for at least another year. Here goes?

Mr, Bayle's secretary told me that they had ceased

+o even accept applications in his department. So, for the
time being that field is not a possibility though it may

very possibly loosen up after school gets under way.

I do wish you would keep me in mind in regard to
the work you hope +o have done on the intramural field,
providing you are able to get the needed money from the council.
Outside of thet I know there is little you can outside of
keeping me in mind should any odd jobs or possibilities come
in view.

IT had a chat with Lester MeCoy today. He will be
glad to do anything he can for me although I know his sources
are decidedly limited and I certainly am not looking for
any political plums.

I sincerely believe that the one thing that will
give Dad the needed psychological impetus is a note from you
stating more or less, as per our chat of last Tuesday, that
you think the school idea is a mighty fine one and as far
as jobs go--we will do our best. I do hope that I haven't

made too large a request.
