Dear Dr. Allens

Although today is Sunday we are all busy at the

office since the battle of Pearl Harbor has changed
our business greatly. In addition, last week(Tuesday)
I was notified at midnight that I had been

classified as A=-1, and would have to report in Peoria
on Werinesday at 5 A. M. After contacting my attorney,
we decided to take the Draft Board's decision without
an appeal.

Between midnight and 5 A. M., I had to clear my

desk, and prepare a paper for the Illinois Association
of Ice Industries Convention in Peoria on Thursday.
Anyway, the government furnished me transportation

a nd meals to the convention not to mention that
everything ran smoothly, and I was elected President
of the Association for 1942.

I have been prgying quietly for the team on your
trip covering Iowa, Illinois, and Kansas. Every
morning m are feet have hit the snow in order to
get a quick look at the scores. Your whipping
at is a real accompelishment.(You know what I
mean) e

Am planning on coming down to Lawrence sometime this
month for a few days visit with you and Mrs. Allene

Perhaps I can make some noise in your home that will
recall old memories when we kids would have "words?

and fights at the dinner tablee .

Received a call from Washington last night at 11:15,
telling me to be on the"Hill" early Tuesday morning
for a conference with the Quartermaster Department
in regard to annice contract. This journey should
prove to be an education.

Wishing you continued success in the Conference. You
can count on me when the going gets tough. Regards to
Mrs. Allen, and the squade

Sincerely,
