SAFETY FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION OF KANSAS CITY 910 GRAND AVENUE KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI July 23 1941 Dear Docs I am sorry that I have been so long in getting around to corresponding with you but I have really been busy since school let out. I had my nose operated on the Monday after school was out. I was only laid up in the hospital for a week and then I was back on my feet againe My side where the bone was removed was the “only sore part of the operation, the rest didn't bother me a bite I was up in Lawrence about a week ago but it was a very brief visit. I am sorry that I could not have spent more time there so that 1 could have had a chance to see youe I went swimming at the pool out on the Topeka highway with some rushees, I have been working down here at Dads office since the week after I got out of the hospital. i have a chance to take a little vacation in tha latter part of August and go to Rochester, New York. My aunt wants me to come and see her. She said that if I would come she would pay all of the expenses, so I guess I'll go. i have been shooting a few baskets here and there but it is too hot for a good workout. I will have to get that jumping rope I guess and start limber- ing up some. Say if you ever get over here in the city please give me a ring will you? I sure would be tickled pink to see you. I sort of got reckless before finals this last semester and loafed too much the ist gk before them. My grades werent at all good. I passed everything but the grades were so bad that it hurts my conscience to mention them. It just goes to show you that the game isn't over until the final gun goes off. I have really got to settle down and do some studying this coming year and only too well do I realize the facte A MUTUAL SAVINGS AND HOME FINANCING INSTITUTION, CHARTERED AND SUPERVISED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, WITH SAVINGS INSURED BY THE FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN INSURANCE CORPORATION.
