My dear Phog:

The Markley's have a darling daughter who plans to attend K.U.
to begin this September. Her mother Fans to mention her father) is
anxious that the daughter make the entry to the University in due
form and with proper decorum.

We have heard of the custums (of the service) that certain
homes are made available to entering students for a limited period
who may or hope to be asked to fraternize with others. Will you
suggest such a.place in keeping with the mother's fond fancies of
good taste? 7

For the past six months I have awaited that call from you for
golf and dinner with us here at the Fort. Time is "flewing", golf
balls more scarce, and always a transfer is possible to all members
of our Armed Forces, however none is anticipated. Soon I will
presume you are afraid either of your golf or the potluck you will
get in the army. Write the dope. :

Sincerely,

(ae
