Miss Ethyl Martin,
406 Springfield Court,
Jacksonville 6, Florida.

Dear Ethyl:

+ euntaben Wk not mean to postpone replying to your

very good letter this long, but I have done so. I asgure you it was
unintentional. I fully expected to write you right away telling you
how I appreciated your thinking of us, and further, sitting down and —

Congratulations on your position as head of the Health
Department. You certainly have two thougand very active youngsters,
Iam sure. I have often wondered about Johnny. I had heard that he
was not ina uatnnns that he cared to publicize. 7

Mrs. Allen is taking care of our five-months-eld grand~
child, Jane's daughter, Jane was our second youngster, and Eleanor
was born here in Lawrence. We have five grandchildren.

I am mailing you a Jayhawk Rebounis, a letter that I get
out to the boys in the service each month. It tells about the Allen
family, and a lot of things you perhaps care little about, but I thought ©
you might enjoy a part of it because there is a yarn about ea basketball —
gane that I know if it was Warrenaburg playing would register a hundred
per cent with you. But I think it is written so that you will enjoy it.

Thanks for your thoughtfulness in writing. If you ever
coms this way, let us know

: Wath every good wish to you, I aa
