Dear Davids

I am happy to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the six-
teenth ultimo and to tell you that I have mailed Rebounds to Major Carl
Lindquist according to the address you gave mee I am also sending your
cousin, C. Le. Francisco, a copy of Rebound No, 17. Both of these gentle-.
men are being put on the mailing list for future Rebounds. It isa
great pleasure to do this and if you have other friends that would like
copies of the Rebounds I would be glad to send them to them if you
would give me their addresses. 3

Just this afternoon we got the wonderful news of Russia's
entry into the wer. This is one of the most heartening things that has
come to our nation in a long time. We certainly will do some business

_now with those slit-eyes!

I trust that Jayhawk Rebound No. 17 reaches you shortly. I
have had difficulty with my No. 18 Rebound, but I'l] let the Rebound |
tell you about that if and when you get it, which I hope will be soon.

| I saw Dr. Latimer on the street the other day and he brought
up the matter of receiving a very fine letter from you. last week I
also visited with Dr. Dean Brooks who lives just across the street from
us here at Lawrence. He is looking wonderfully well and is much matured.
He is a fine chap and we were delighted to have a visit with hin.

I am glad that they haven't thrown too much hate over on you
and I am equally happy that none of the suicide boys have dropped in on
your deck. With every good wish to you, I am .

Sincerely, |
