Lous, Mo. July 18, 1939 Dr. Forrest C. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I have for attention your letter of July 14, together with | Signed original copy of contract offered you under date of June 23. Before consigning this contract to our files I want to discuss the postscript to your letter in which you bring up the question of a specified number of years as an addition to this contract, with a clause calling for the extension of time by agreement of both parties. When the original contract was prepared we attempted to cover the essential parts of it without giving considera- tion to the element of time but would like to hear from you as to your suggestion. Possibly a five-year term would be in order, with an extension at the end of five years. Please let us hear further from you at your convenience. Kindest regards. Cordially yours, K,E Weinzette1/Ac
