Dear Phog:

a Enclosed is a little squib from the
Topeka State Journal for Saturday, March 7th. You very
probably have seen it and will recall that the remarks
referred to were not made by me but by Bill Miller. I am
enclosing a copy of the remarks which I had prepared prior
to the ceremony last Friday night. I cannot recall of
ever having been so nervous over having a part in a public
program before and I am ashamed to say that I did a little
stuttering over what I had to say. I have never made a
speech in which I-was so anxious to say the right thing and
felt so keenly what I was saying. Therefore, I hope you
will excuse what may well have appeared to have been mike
fright. While the whole ceremony was entirely for your
honor, I at the same time felt that it was one of the
greatest honors to have come to me to have a part in it.

With all good wishes, I am
Very truly yours,
BALFOUR S. JEFFREY.
