Dear Dr. Allen:

While in the process of dictating a letter to you, your
letter of October 17 arrived and has somewhat changed my
thoughts and plans, however, I am now on @ sound found-
ation after receiving it and will shoot straight to the
shoulder in making our plans.

On November 2, I am planning on attending the Northwestern-
Minnesota game in Evanston as it is Homecoming and & number
of the boys of the Phi Delt House are planning on @ get-
together after the game. Since Mother is also a graduate
of Northwestern, she too is planning on being present for
the battle. She will stey with my Aunt, Mrs. Carrie Glenn
Sommers, 1519 Hinman Avenue, Evanston, while I will be the
guest of the Lonborgs over Saturday and Sunday.

As for the tickets for you and Mrs. Allen, I am writing

for them today, so if you will write me as to your schedule
of towns and hotels, I will forward them to you special
delivery immediately after they are received. Incidentally,
they issue tickets rather close to the game date, so don't
be alarmed if they are ‘somewhat delayed in reaching you.

Now as for our getting together. I noted in your letter of
October 10 that you will be in Toledo on November 1 and on
November 7 at Milwaukee. We would be more than glad to have
you and Mrs. Allen as our guest in Beardstown at your con-
venience, either on the lst or the 7th.

The reason that I have delayed in answering your first
letter is due to the fact that Mother has been in St. Louis
visiting relatives for a few days and I wanted to have her
acqueinted with our plans before writing. Again, remember
that we are leaving the time of your stay with us up to you,
whereas you know you will receive a warm welcome upon either
date. Just advise us what time is more convenient to you
and we will make our plans accordingly. I only wish I could
make those trips with you, as I am sure that your sessions
in Milwaukee and Toledo will be more than worth while.

I forgot to mention the fact that Lonborg lives at 2507 Ash-
land Avenue, Evanston, and if you will give me a ring either
at that address, Phone University 0903 or at my Aunt's,
Greenleaf 6258, we can make arrangements to get together
some time over the Homecoming weekend.
