Dear John,

Thank you very much for your very nice letter of October 16.
It was fine ef you to write as you did.

No boy who has ever come to the University has been more of a
joy and a pleasure and as little trouble as you were, John.

You were straightforward, aggressive, and dependable and when

you spoke I always knew where you stood. You've had a fine
bringing-up, John, and that's a great heritage for a boy.

Yes, you will find that your four years at college will be the
happiest of your life, and the memories will alweys be very dear
to you I'm sure. You were a splendid student and a fine athlete .
and a real gentleman. I do not know what more parents could want
for their possession. 3 |

I've been keeping pretty close tab on you and know that you have
enlisted in the Naval Reserves. I know that you're to be at
Northwestern on Jan. 22. We're to pley DePaul University on Jan,
31, and I hope that you can arrange for the evening a leave if
possible. We would be indeed happy to have you as our guest. At
the present time I do not know where we'll stay, but you'll find
that out I'm sure. |

I am sending you a copy of our basketball schedule hoping that

you will be able to visit Lawrence before you go to Chicago and

see some of our games. By the way, Jane is married as you

doubtless know. Her husband is Elwood Mons and they're living at
the Marshall Field Garden Apartments, 1423 Hudson Ave. Apte SA .
Chicago. Her telephone number is Mohawk 7525. I know that she

- would be glad to say, “hello” to you. ‘

We get letters from Bob and Eleanor quite often and they're
extremely happy. They bought season tickets to the football games
and they say that Pennsylvania has a real team. ~
