Dear Dr. Allen:

Although Jenuary 19 is several weeks away I am now mék-
ing plens on witnessing the annual battle between the
University of Missouri and your team at Columbia.

With your permission I would like to have the members
of your 1939-40 traveling squad, it's trainers, manag-
ers, and yourself es my guests at a steak dinner that
could be arranged immediately after the above mention-
ed game. Your team members heve been very considerate.
of me during my many visits to your University and this
would be one of the ways of my repaying them for their
kindness. If you will inform me as to what hotel or
restaurant you usvally eat at in Columbia and also if
the plan meets with your approvel, I will gladly make
ell of the necessery arrangements.

I am inclosing a clipping taken from Thursday's edition
of the Chicago Daily Tribune concerning your basket-
ball team and featuring your son, Bob. This write-up
makes me regret that I didn't have the opportunity of
knowing Forrest, Jr., as I am sure that he, too, would
have made headlines in the Tribune, if he would have
only been ellowed to play for K. U.. .

I am anxiously awaiting your reply pertaining to the
dinner engagement for your squad so thet 1 might con-
tact the proper sources in Columbia,
