Uremia--the poisonous or toxic condition of his stomach coming :
from the improper elimination of the kidneys--is what is giving

him such acute abdominal pains just now. The doctors give us

little hope for en, but they can not daunt the spirit of

my###$ mother, my sister, and myself. My dad is just too

darn tough and scrappy to go down; despite convulsions, brain

lesions, the non-functioning of the stomach (any of which the

doctors predict), come what may we will not give up until

the very end.

Dr. Allen I don't know why I was overcome with a little
"over emotionacism" when I badefarewell to you that morning.
Why I have kept perfect composure all through this--the biggest
crises in my life--but Il just simply have to: I must be a "man"
for there are my mother and my little sister,

I don't believe I need to tell you how much I "loved" my
experience at K.U. It was among the grandest days of my
life--but they've all been fine for I have such wonderful
parents-=-and as soon as this war is over I'll be back there on the
bills

My orders are due anyday now and if they have WF me report
to Ft. Leavenworth for my "processing," I will be sure to
stop and see you, Charley Moffett and my friends at the Delt
house, and the other dear K.U. people.

I want to# a#pologize for taking so much of your time

for I didn't know I was writing so much. But please tell

everyone in the physical education department--Mrs. Hulteen,

Henry Shenk, Dean, Strait, Schaake, and the others--"Hello"
weil

for me if you a .
