Dear Poctor Allen:

Mr. Hunter, brought your letter and one from
T.P. Jr. up to the office this morning so I thought I would
write and tell you what progress we have made in getting
T. P. Hr.'s residence established in Kansas. I note that what
we have done is in accord with your suggestions.

The committee refused to allow T. P. to enter
as a Kansas residence. Yesterday I called 4enry Werner but was
unable to get any satisfaction from him, except that the committee
felt that the boy was merely trying to get mf out of paying non-
resident fees. 1 then had my call transferred to Prof. Brocklebank,
who though not a member of the committee, had sat in on the
meeting and had objected to the boys admission as a resident.
Brovklebank, claims that the boys residence and domicle is where
his parents are located. I claim that due to the fact that his’.
parents are. separated and have refused to care for the boy and
being over seventeen he can have a different residence by declaring
a new residence. After considerable more arguing it was agreed
that Prof. Brocklebank, would ask the committee to reconsider
this application. I then called Mr. Hunter and had him come up
and sign an affidavit setting out the facts as I had related
them to Brocklebank. I then sent this affidavit with a long
letter to Brocklebank, In my letter I cited several Kansas cases
which clearly show that such an exeeption to the general rule
as I claim is recognized by the courts of this state. I asked
Brocklebank to hand this affidavit and letter to the comnittee
so that they would have the complete story before them,

Personally, Dr., I think the boy is a resident
of Kansas and that the law is on our side. The purpose of the
guardianship papers was to show by a legal proceedings that he
was a resident of this state. I finished my letter by stating
that under the circumstance in this case the boy warrants receiving
all benefit of any doubt.

You know as well as I do Dr. that they.can let
this boy in if they want to. I fully realizex your position 3
in these matters so I have refrained from mentioning your name 4
to either Werner or Brocklebank,

wesw Yours truly,
