Such a mess as 1 was unwittingly drawn into you of course can appreciate could not have been other than distasteful to me and it certainly is gratifying to me-- Since such an incident did occur--that the other party con- cerned was big enough to appreciate my position and gentleman enough to forgive and forget the entire matter without Causing rupture between friends as you so clearly Stated in next to last paragraph of your December 14th letter. If I fail to see you sooner, 1 certainly want to be in Lawrence,January 16th to see your team trim Missouri but in any event, you may rest assured that I will make it a special point to see you the very first time I am in Lawrence.

M. December 16th. 'Nuf said. Wishing you and your family a most enjoyable Christmas season, I ask to remain Sincerely yours, WMG: ANG
