Dear Dr. Allen:

I received your fine letter yesterday and was very glad
to hear from you. I returned home yesterday from Clay Center for
a sort of 'required vacetion'. The farmers in that district would
not let us continue with our work until@ harvest is finished. Our
next job to do on the road was to lay a six inch dirt and sand base,
and this would muke it very hard for the hauling 6f their wheat as
the road would be very soft and our mechines would hold them up at
times. As there is no other immediate thing to be done to the road,
all we have to do is to weit until@ harvest is over, which will be
about ten days or two weeks,

As I will be home ung this time I was wondering if you woulda
send me the equipment that I have asked you for. The size of the shoes
(if you Suess big enough box to send them in!) is 9. I hate to
bother you with this but I would like to get in some penton,

I received a letter from Max Kissell today and will answer it
immediately. He says that he is unable to decide whet he wants to
take and this makes it difficult to pick the school. I will try ana

assure him that he can probably receive from the University any course

. that he desires. Of ceok , d Poa tw herrt abcadey Roca em
Hoping that you are fine and thanking'for the trouble that I

am causing you, I am

Sincerely yours,
