Dear Dr. Allen:

Lee Gemmell is on our Conference Committee and was aware that we
were to invite you to the Emporia Conference so that your word of
regret to him came to me last Saturday.

i naturally had hoped that you could accept because we enjoyed
very much the contribution you made at our Conference last year at
Marysville and this conference, barring bad weather will be a much
larger conference than that. However, we are going to ask you on
further occasions to make yourself available for our programss

Sincerely yours,

Tee eee

Leo L. Gessell
Program Secretary
