Mr.F.C.Allen,

Lawrence, Kansase

Dear Mr.Allen:—

As the first semester of the school
year draws to @ close,I have been wondering if it
would be too much trouble to ask your apinion as to
the advisibility of having my two boys,Gene and Charles
continue in school.

I relize that you are very busy at
the time of the year but I do not know any one else to
whom I might go who would or could give me this infor-
mation and be perfectly honest and fair.

I relize too that it is not every one
who is fitted and able to take a college education but
it has always been my hope that my children could do
better than I did,therefore I am wondering if the two
boys are of college caliber.

Also I would like to know just what
the cost will be,or as nearly as you can tell, because
I am going to have to secure financial backing for them
if they are to continue.

Thus far they have each made his own
way and other than the enroliment fee and books,I think
they can continue to do so.

Thanking you for yor interest and co-
operation thus far and trusting that the request is not
asking too much of you or yor time,I am

Yours truly

Boe
