Dear Dr.Allen,

Just a word to thank you again for your
very nice letter of recommendation to the Stanford officials.
That really is a help in a new situation. I haven't
seen your brother as yet but will soon now that I'm
about even with the assignment schedule of the hard pressing
professors. An "A" is about the only grade condoned out
here and you know what that means for leisure time activities
the education people talk about.

John Bunn has been great to work with and
so has Dr. Esslinger.who was Dr.Elbel's teammate at Iowa.
I really think I'd like to do.doctorate work if I could
find that much money and-if the Graduate committee will
O.K. me,which is more to the point. Dr.Storey seems to
think my qualifications thus far are satisfactory. The
decision does not have to be made this summer,however.

IT hear very good reports in these parts
about Mr.DeGroot. He has anexcellent reputation here.

Mr.Moll of Kansas State is here this
summer finishing his doctor's degree. Also a former K.U.
man.Dave Wright,who used to be quite a ball player. He
is in Oregon now. Said he was working on his master's degree.

t

This.a great country in the summer. Seems like
a coat is comfortable most any time of the day. We are
just far enough back from the coast to be free from the
fogs and still be in the cool sea breezes.

Many thanks fer the boost and if I get up
the nerve I'll barge in your brother's office and call
him "pete".

Very sincerely yours
