Dear Howard:

I should have answered your good letter of October 26 sooner, but
I wanted to have a talk with Mr. Quigley concerning your coaching of
the freshman team, Of course we do nothave freshmen here and will
not have this year, but when you come to the University at the end —

The people near an ordnance plant have been spoiled by the prices that
have been paid by the workers. Money was terribly cheap then, and the
workers were willing to pay most any price. I do not believe that we
gan blame Lawrence for this attitude, but a general situation attributed
to the war and “a prices.

Gosh, 4 WAL be good to see you and we are looking forward to the
day when you can be with us. Mrs. Allen was operated three weeks ago
at St. Luke's hospital and after two weeks she came — and she is
