Dear Doctor Penny:

: As usual I am a little late in getting all my desk work done.
I think it is a swell idea that these Rotarians have of writing their
members who are doing so much for us overseas and other places in the
armed forces. For weeks I have been expecting to write you, but
maybe my golf game with your good dad, Irving Hill and Ogden Jones
should not be used as an alibi. I have had time to do it, but like
the guy that would rather play than write a letter I have done that.

Each Monday, Wednesday and Priday afternoon about 4:30 Ogden
Jones and I engage Hiram T. and Irving H. in the pasture pool pursuit.
Tt is a lot of fun to have your dad in Rotary and have a chance to
visit with hin.

monthly to the boys in the service. I do not know why I have neglected
to mail this to you earlier because it has been on the mailing list of
@ great many of our good friends. But the fact that I am writing you
now emphasizes the error of omission that I comitted. I trust there
is something in these pages that will give you some news that you would
not get otherwise.

The wolf pack that you associated with has been thinned consider-
ably, but they all talk of you regularly and they make up in enthusiastic
anticipatory longings for the old group what they lack now in numbers.
that I am saying is that we will be glad when you get back and roam the
old haunts of yesteryear.

With every good wish to you and yours, I am

Rotarily yours, :
