My dear Dr. Allen:-

I want to express my appreciation for the letters you
wrote to some of your friends in Salina. I was told by some
of the people that your letters and recommendation meant a
great deal. I found a strange situation when I came here,
and these letters with others aided greatly. Everything is
coming along fine, and I feel that I am getting a hold on the
church so that by fall I can really introduce a great program.
There are so many men here, I think I have five men here for
every one I had in Lawrence, and that means I must devise
ways and means of keeping them busy and interested.

K have met Gene Johnson. He bejongs to my church.
Mr. Mackie was out a week ago Sunday. He does not belong, but
told me when I visited him that he was going to put the family
letter in this church and become active. He has been quite
inactive in church work for the past number of years.

Dr. Nelson is in the same Clinic with one of my
pest men, Dr. Porter Brown, so of course what you wrote to him
got around to the place we wanted it to reache

I wonder if you saw Robert and his bride when they
@ere in Lawrence about & week ago. She is a fine girl and just
the type for Robert. She is calm and well poised and will
certainly be a balance wheel for him, which he needs at time’

Our church services are bybadcast over station KSAL

of Salina every other Sunday. I will be on tomorrow and «then
also the 29th, after which we will not broadcast until next>
September, as our gervices will be held at 8:30 in the morning.
They have been having these early services for some time here
just as we did at Lawrence. My mother has rejoiced that she
could listen to me every other Sunday. However she is very 43.21
now and we are not sure just what the outcome will be. Mother is

past 80. I will be with herea few days next week.

Thanks to you for all your courtesies- thanks for
your interest in and kindness to our boy- and best wishes
to you and yours. Come and see us if you ever come this way
The Parsonage here was very poor, but they are buying one of the
very nice homes of the city for us, so We will be comfortably
situated in a week or two I hope. Up to now we have just camped.

Most cordial,
Robert A. Hunt
