Dr.Forrest C.Allen.

Lawrence Kansas.

Dear Dr.Allen;

We appreciate so very much your interest and
kindness to John. He seems pleased and happy to be
living at thePhi Psi house. The last two or three
years have been very trying for him because of his
size. Since he first talked to you he has felt
more comfortably about that.

To us he has a nice disposition,and if he can
keep this during the next few years,without bitternes
he will have gone a long way to a useful,and happy
life.Like most parents we wish we could relieve, of
this problem.

We are pleased that he selected K.U.a good
school ,near home,and best because of your influence.

If he is able to develop to be of any value to
your department,I know that he will be glad to in
that small way repay you for your efforts.

Since John has been in Lawrence,we have heard
so many nice things about your department,and how
much you do for the boys.

Thanking you again for your wery thoughtful
co operation.

Sincerely,

poten ¥ Minn Hatters
