Charlie Moffett, October 23, 1945 : 2

\

Mrs. Allen left yesterday afternoon for Kansas City with ry
daughter Jan, Mrs. Mons, She is going to St. luke's Hospital to be
operated on early idthe morning. It is a major operation but it should
not prove unduly serious because it is a repair job. I am sure she /
should get along fine because she is in unusual good health. Jane |
is going to call me late tonight and tell me the time for the operation.
I will drive in early inthe morning for the operation. Dr. Larry ingle,
one of the best surgeons in this part of the country, is doing the
work so we are highly optimistic. |

Thanks, Charlie, for yor compliment on my pseudo-efficiency.  Uften
wonder if I ever got anything well done. I have so many loose ends to
pick up. Glad that you like the Army. Fellow always does his best .
work when he gets a thrill out of doing a thing. Am glad thet you are
in tip-top physical dondition. Bet you are a rugged-looking soldior.
Keep on working hard, boy, and get the copporal assignment.

r got a letter Saturday ffom Dr. Jessen. Old Jeabody seemed
realistic when I heard from him. He wants four tickets to the
Missouri game and is telling of the Varriel Melieil boy:"We have
en outstanding boy here by the name of Darriel MoNeil that someone
should drop by and talk Kensas Yniversity to. I happen to know
that Oklahoma University is interested in him. He is just a junior
but Beick Astel says he is the best football player in high school
in the State." We will certainly follow his directions and interest
him in the University of Kansas. of

Getting back to Charlie Black--he is going to enter school
December 1. ‘te should be in for basketball this year. Ray vans
may come in but I do not believe they will let him out until after | :
football season. ,

I have done pretty well don't you think, Charlie? I've answered
your letter two and one half hours after it arrived. With all good :
luek and best wishes, I am |

Sincerely yours,

Direetor of Yhysical Education,
Varsity Basketball Coach
