COUNCILMEN MAYOR A. B. Burks Ci (y of De Soto Harry Dicken Charles Kaegi Charles Wiard < CITY CLERK Saad Garcons De Soto, Kansas : Feels Staebbery F. B Strickland C.H. Linden December 1st,1939 Dr.F. C.Allien. Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Sir:— I received your letter of November 24th, regarding Charles and if you have been disappointed in him you may well imagine my feelings regarding the whole thing. I had felt for sometime that all was not as it should be but I was unable to place my finger on any particular thing ané I am more than pleased that it has turned out as it has for otherwise it might have been too late. I had a long talk with him as soon as he Came home Sunday and I gave him your letter to read also one which I received from Mrs.Lowe,thus proving, I think that I was not the only one disappointed in him,and I am sure that it has had its effect. I know that you will not have to worry about his smoking any more and I feel that it will not be long until he has his grades back to where they should be. Reg-rding Mrs.-Green, I think that if you will get to the bottom of things there that you will find that most of the complaint is not directed to- ward Charles,however Icdo not doubt that there has been some but. she certainly has — grand to the boy and is still being that way. There are some other things that I would like to talk to you about rather than write and I will try to see you within the next few days. Thanking you for your interest,I am Yours Truly
