HAAS & WILKERSON CARBIDE & CARBON BLDG. Telephone 912 Baltimore Ave. INSURANCE Victor 6430 KANSAS CITY. MO. April. 7 19 @& be. fy o. Allen Athletic Department University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: This will acknowledge and thank you for yours of April 6th. I appreciate your writing me, and, as far as JI am con- cerned, I feel that there are so many really important things to do in these times that there is no use burn- ing up a lot of time and energy "shadow boxing". As far as I am concerned, I hold no animosity whatso- ever toward Don, and I really feel sorry for him. I feel that we have done everything possible, and maybe if Don goes into the Air Corp. or something of that nature where he will get some good, strict military discipline, he will come back with a different viewpoint and make a good man. In any event, I wish him the best of everything and know you do too. I appreciate your cooperation with us, and want you to know I was in there pitching, as were a lot of good Alumni, when you and your team came to Kansas City. With kindest personal regards, I am Very truly yours, LLL f ford. aeh/hk Albert E. Haas
