Dear Gerald:

: Thanks very much for writing Mr. George ¥. Olinger
regarding the pack of inspirational cards. ‘They were received
and I am delighted to have then.

I spoke out at Russell, Kansas, about two weeks ago
+o a group of thirty Junior Rotarians. It was a noon meeting
of the Rotary Club at Russell. Prior to my going, I dug back
into some old files end pulled out a letter dated November 18,
1929, from George W. Olinger, Chairman of Boys' Work Committee, .
R. I. He was writing me to congratulate me on my 44th birth-
day. I used this letter at that meeting with good effect. I
thought it was an unusual coincidence.

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Hducation,
