Dear Doctor:

Believe it or not, I really had it on my things to do to write
a congratulatory letter to you in conjunction with the cele-
bration held March 6 in honor of your 25 years of service at
the University of Kansas,

However, at that time, as you probably know, I was literally
covered with work and detail here, in the shuffle I lost
track of the date, and just now did I find the announcemant
in a pile of correspondence that has been residing on my desk
for some two months.

This isn't my ordinary way of doing things, but I am happy to
say that I have just today acquired an ediphone, which is go-
ing to be invaluable to me in keeping up with my correspon-
dence from now on.

Mary left last night for Lawrence and she is in for a good,
long train ride since her train does not arrive in Lawrence
until this coming Friday morning. It seems that it takes
about 12 hours longer for the same train to make the trip
East as compared to the trip West. I presume that this is
beeause of the tremendous amount of war materials and men that
the railroads are transporting to the West Coast and as a re-
sult, the right of way is given to the westbound transporta-
tion at the expense of the eastbound transportation.

I believe we have Mary pretty well sold on California. She
apparently had a grand time and I am happy, for that is the
way I planned ite We covered a lot of territory while she
( was here, so she knows now whereof she speaks as far as
af Northern, Southern California and Arizona is concernede

   
   

But, I'm off the subject, The original purpose of this letter
is to add my little bit of congratulations to the many you have

“ already received, and, I am sure, more eloquent, on your mar-
Se velous record at the University of Kansas.
