TELEPHONE 296 DR. KENT R. DUDLEY VETERINARIAN IOLA, KANSAS March 29, 1945 Mr. Forrest C. Allen Director of Physieai Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Mr. Allens Received your letter of March 27, in regards to Doctor Lenski writing directly to Doctor Canuteson. The fact that Doctor Lenski wrote his letter to you was perhaps my mis- take. He could just as well have written the letter to Doctor Canuteson, and would, in all probabilities, have written the same letter, merely addressing it different. I understand that you are not standing on technicalities in this latter request, on the other hand, I am quite re- luctant to ask Doctor Lenski to write another letter, when he is as busy as he is at the present time. He is our lead- ing Doctor and only surgeon in this whole community, and is just simply going night and day, so I don't feel at liberty to make any further requests of him along this line, since he has already communicated to you with the information. I am quite certain that Doctor Canuteson would understand per- fectly why that I would be reluctant to make a further re- guest of Doctor Lenski, he being a Doctor and knowing what an awful strain is put upon physicians and surgeons at this particular time. It would seem that there has been sufficient corres-— pondence relative to this particular request for all facts to be established. After all, it is not a matter of life and death, and I feel that Doctor Canuteson is broad enough minded to understand the situation. I shall ask my daughter, Ruth, to call on Doctor Canuteson in the near future, at which time I would appreciate it very much if copies of all our correspondence were in his office. Wish to thank you ever so much, Mr. Allen, for your kind co-operation and courtesy in this matter, and you may rest assured that I appreciate it very much. Again thanking you and with the kindest personal regards, I beg to remain, Very truly yours, Pfft KRD: cl Dr. Kent R.
