127 North Doheny Drive Beverly Hills, California August 3, 1938 Dr. Forrest 0. Allen Lawrence, Kansas Dear Fog: Thank you very much for your kind letters I appreciate them very much. The letters to: your basket-—ball players were very interesting and gives one an inside light as to why Kansas wins the basket—ball championship with so much regularity. With the nationel Collegiate Championship Tournement coming up for the first time I think that you and all of us are very fortunate in having such a good squad to work with and I am sure that they will go places and do things. That is a very fine Southern trip you have worked out for the boys. Wish that you could drop in on us for a few days as we are very well situated in a lovely home in Beverly Hills. This evening we are going out on the beach for a picnic dinner and to watch the tide come in and the sun go down. I feel better then at any time in the past six months and my blood is staying un better. It now looks a little more then possible that some day I may be able to return to my work and to my friends. I haven't heard any more from Ole so do not know if he got his coaching job or not. It doesn't look like too much of a good thing but at least it will get him started and his feet down on solid ground. I would hate to see him go back to New York. I had lunch and a nice visit with Bill Hargiss which I enjoyed very much. Fraternally yours, arr QOQ Marvin Hall :
