Dear JEs

I @m sorry that I have not answered your good letter of
the 14th ultimo sooner, The fact of the matter is that I have been
definitely on the run and have not been able to catch up as yete

t

i am writing to let you know that your daughter stopped
by last Sunday at the Allen household and we had @ nice visite
As you probably know, we are meeting Wichite University tonighte
Our first conference game the spring sencester is with Nebraska, an
altitudenous, gangling and aggressive group of cornhuskerse You
ean imagine our toiling bunch of underlings will have a whale of
a job trying to whiddie those big boys down to their sizes.

_ I am aiways glad to hear from you and I assure you that I
would write you more often if my time and the day would just hold out.

I see Max often and encourage him because I think he is a
fine boy and will undoubtedly make the Varsity here at the Universitye
He had some difficulty with his Spanish, but I do not contribute that
to anything other than the fact that he did not have language in
high schoole Max will make itg do not worry about hime He is the
right type of boy and we are much interested in that typee

Give my kindest regards to Mrse Kissell. You have a lovely

Sincerely yours,
