PORTER AHRENS SCANDIA --page twos; Allen Feb, 20th. Did not intend to get onto the second page but I noted a rather hot artcile in a Lawrence paper lately, The Outlook, relative to the thodist Crudade that is under way and taking you to a a "good" Methodist I wondfed if you noticed it and if so what you thot of it and wondered just why the writer put the item up that way. Guess it makes very little difference but I had not thot that the Crusdae was to be anything of a politieal activity and feel that the object of the Crusade, that is, the money raised for it, would be to follow the Good Lord rather more, and not too much religious following of the administration of the Hearsts or Dulles, ll or any of those honorable gents. The article was published about last of January or first of February. Hope this finds you people and all of yours well and getting along. I see you have Red Cross again and also various activities on your hands. Your life has been kept busy enough so that when you cross over to the other shore, you conluct seats and golden streets y there and figure \ehJo out some new defense for the fellows I hope will still be playing bBall in that land. Glad to hear from you any time and if there were any wno lost their life at Manhattan, I would like to know it. By the way, I thing I can pull enough strings to get McArthur and Nimitz back here to patrol the territory from Manhattan to Lawrence if necessary. Kindest regards and Tam \ Very Truly Y
