Mey 9, 1942.

Mrs. Harry F. Jotmson,
Dawson, Nebraska.

Dear Dorothea:

Thank you for your wonderful invitation to visit you
and Warry in your home on May 21. I spoke to Mrs. Allen as
soon as I received your letter and she said she would be de-
lighted to accept the Johnson's hospitality if something did
not interfere.

| That something now is the fact that Mary and her

three children who have been visiting us for a couple of months
are still with us. They are leaving the 29th for California.
Mary went out to California a month ago to pick out a home at
Carmel, while Mrs. ‘ilen kept the children. Pete, her husband,
is located on the coast and will be there pormanentily, I imagine.
Mery just returned last night from Louisville, where she drove
down to complete the details of shipping her furniture and so
forth to the coast:

Mhile she was in Louisville, Lee itéans was practicing
some gymastic stunts and did a flip-flop, but the wrong way, and
broke his right arm, both bonese ‘So we have had a lot of
fcr Grandmother Allen to worry about. Towever, she would be de-
lighted, I imagine, to get away from some of the responsibility
and accompany me to your beautiful home. You will remember we
“ed there to say hello onve when we were coming back from

raske.

It would be a great pleasure to see Lance and the other
young husky. Of course, I remember Lance so woll because he was
eee eniiot van < ae Seeetli your mother. Hot
knowing the other young men's name, I will apalt the Sine with
pleasure until I can get as well acquainted with him as I am with
Lance. If Mrs. Allen should not be able to come I will let you
know, but we are hoping now that she will be.

Soe ee
the very near future, I am

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation
