Dodge City, Kansas

Dear Doral and Mrs. Doral:

I feel that you children are a part of my
family and although I have forgotten the Mrs," name, I
still remember the wonderful time that I spent in your home,

I want you to know that I appreciated your
loyalty and thoughtfulness in writing me as you did March 16,
It is such letters from you people that make you realize how
wonderful friends are, Although we did not win, or come near
it, it strengthens us in the assurance that friends are cer-
tainly warthwhile,.

I got a note from the Dodge City Chamber of Commerce
asking me to speak out there on the 8th or 15th of April, but
since I have Rotary district conference engagements in Kansas City
and Oklahoma City on the 7th and 8th and the 14th and 15th, I had
to decline, unless that date could be arranged following those
dates that I have,

With all good wishes, I am

_ Sincerely yours,

¥ Director of Physical Education,
