Dear Tonys

: : It was a delight to hear from you and to know that
you are in Springfield. I will certainly be delighted to see youe I leave
here on Sunday, March 5, and catch the streamliner at 1:00 PeM. I get out
of Chicago at 11945 PsMe on the Pennsylvania, out of Cincinnati as 9300 Ale
and arrive at Springfield at 10:45 Aelle on Monday the 4the

Elwood Pitzer of the high school staff has asked
me to luncheon with him that day. Then coming back, I get out of Springfield
at 6:55 AseM. on the 5th andarrive home at Lawrence, Kansas, at 8:00 AeM. the
6th. I am making a hurried trip on accomt of other conflicts.

I believe the luncheon date with Pitzer is at the
Shawnee Hotel. I have asked him to make my hote] arrangements,so I am leaving
that up to him.

I certainly will be delighted to see you and if it
is at all possible, I would love to see your dad, but I know how busy he is.

I am sending. you the last of my Jayhawk Rebounds that
I wrote last August. These went monthly to the boys overseas and in the camps —
here in our countrye I have been trying to write the nineteenth one since the
was over, but the incentive is not the same as it was during the war. Howe
ever, I do want to give the boys still in the service an acee tienes letter or
two @

‘ettekgkins the pleasure of seeing you and renewing
old time bullfests, I am with kindest personal regards

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
