Dear Doctor Allen:
Your letter of November 27th, was most welcome.

I knew that you would have a busy schedule when you
came east but nevertheless I could not resist writing you
to see if it might be possible for you to come out and talk
to our Kiwanis Club.

I am wondering whether or not you would have the time
to come out and pay us a short visit on Friday the 27th, or
if you could the next morning. I am presuming that your time
will be well taken up but we would like to show you some of
Nassau County. Mineola is approximately 45 minutes from the
Pennsylvania Railroad Station. by Long Island Railraod.

It was interesting to hear of your family. I know of
course, that Milton was in law school and also that Bob had
made a star basketball player. I note that he is considering
both Harvard and Minnesota medical colleges and an wondering ~
if by any chance he might consider Northwestern. Naturally,
I am partial to Northwestern and would be delighted with the
opportunity to recommend him to the school authorities if he
should wish to apply there.

Josephine is a junior at Duke and will be home next Satur-
day for her Christmas vacation. She has been very active in
the school work and this year is President of the Y. W. C. A.
She wrote us that membership dues in the Y. for this year were
in excess of $700. as compared with only $400. for the last
school year. She is a Delta-Gemma and of course, gets a big
kick out of that.
