Dr. Forrest "Phog" Allen
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear "Phog"s

Sure pulling for you last night to whip
the Aggies, but you can't win them all. Want to congratulate
you on your wonderful life time record as coach and also your
yearly seasons, always a leader or close to the top.

In my books your number one in the forty eight
states and that meansin this big wide troubled world. Seems
but a few short years ago that we were class mates, and studied
so hard, especially for "Uncle Jimmy" Greersclasses. A fellow
sure could cut classes under Uncle Jimmy and not suffer.

Again congratulations and best wishes to you
and yours all the way.

Sincerelyy,.
