Dear Dr. Knappen:

was deeply appreciated, I assure you. I could write a full page
expressing our genuine pleasure in on, Visiting and vanene
with you good people. |

I have already told many of your good friends in
Lawrence how wonderful you end Mrs. Knappen were to us. If we
had not lost so many professors with the human touch from Kansas
we would be much better off athletically and otherwise. But it
was good to renew old acquaintances, and I am sincerely trusting
that we oun have a get-together again soon. It was a delightful
epoch in our tour in friendship's village. -

T am sending you a Jayhawk Rebounds that I told you
about. If you like it we will put you on the mailing list, and
if you wish back numbers -- we have a few -- we will be glad to
send them to you.

With all good wishes and appreciation to you and
your good wife, I am

Very sincerely yours,
