I have talked to a great group of boys who have teken the indoctrination course and they all have the highest praise for the personnel of that outfit.

THE FIRST METHODIST CHURCH SALINA, KANSAS = MISS MADALEINE KLEPPER MISS ELOUISE STEWART SECRETARY ROBERT A. HUNT, MINISTER PASTOR'S ASSISTANT ee SS &e July 23, 1942 Dr. Forrest Allen, \Kansas Yniversity Lawrence, Kansas. s My dear Dr. Allen:- Robert is now in Norfolk Virginia, He writes that in his Squad there are about 60 men from Texas, Oklahoma Florida Kansas and other places and that most of them are between 30 and 35 years of age. He feels that he will be able to take any physical training that the others ean. I think he looked in the best condition I ever saw him when he left. He writes that last Friday or Saturday they went to see the Navy team( Feller and the other big league player?) play a semi Pro team. One of the Semi Pro men did not show up and they called for a volun teer from the}stands. obt. offered his services and suited up but the player cantbefore he could get in the came. However he sat on the benchhand coached and in the ninth inning he got a chance to bat and drew a walk and got on “ase. His only dissapointment was that he did not get to bat against Feller. I think Robert's alertness to t ake advantage of the breaks is an asset to him. Of course the eight weeks away from his wife will seem like a long time but I write to himevery day and try to kee p him from getting homesick. Thanks again for your interest in Robert through all these years,-you have been a great help to him. “ He will not have much time to write but if you or Babbie could drop him a few lines it would please him, His address is, Robert E, Hunt ©.
