COSGROVE BALFOUR S.JEFFREY ROBERT-E-RUSSELL Cc-A.MAGAW H.-LLOYD ERICSSON August 25, 1939. Mr. Forrest C. Allen, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Dr. Allen: I am more than ashamed that I have not replied before this to your last letter concerning Dick Shakeshaft and Don Kirchner, but I think you will understand that it was not for lack of interest, but due to the fact that I have been ex- tremely busy on a job which has taken all of my time this summer, much of it being spent away from Topeka. I have scarcely had opportunity to even make in- quire concerning these two boys, but I understand both have definitely decided to attend the University of Colorado. Frosty Cox is now in town in connection with the coaching school. . Shakeshaft I understand has not been around Topeka much this summer. I have a little more time now and will be glad to do anything I can for you. ace Yours very truly, Balfour S. Jeffrey. / BSJ/rB
