Dear Dr. Allen:-

This will acknowledge receipt of your
letter of Mareh 14th.

We have not discussed the matter of
Dick's future education to any greet extent since it
is very probable that he will have to enter the Armed
Forces some time this coming summer. He will be eighteen
on July 14th and since he is in good héalth snd physical
condition, there is no reason to foresee that he will
be deferred or rejected.

We naturally want him to continue his
education after the war but just what end where is pretty.
hard to predict at this time. We know thet his Uncle Herb
wents him to go to K. U. but on the other hand his older
sister who is now at Missouri wants him to go there.

Dick is a very good High School athlete.
He is probebly equally good in football end basketball
but he is probably better in baseball than either. Last
year he had e 7-0 record in High School and in the inter-
mediate division of the Muny League he had a 14-3 record.
The Yankess and the Browns have both shown,some interest
in him but he definitely will not enter professional
baseball at this time.

We very much appreciate your interest
in Dick and your letter. will be kept on file for future
consideration.

I want to take this opportunity to con-
gratulate you as well as commend you on your fight against
the professional gamblers. Keep up this good work and more
power to you.

Sincerely yours
