Dear Dr. Allen;

Our Student Government Association is
sponsoring a dance in honor of our basket-ball team on
the evening following the game this week, (Friday, Margh 3rd.).
In view of the traditional spirit of friendly rivalry, long
existent between K,U, and MU, it would seem very fitting
that you and the Kansas team be our guests at that time, in
the event it is possible for you to stay over, If this is
possible, we will reserve tickets, complimentary, of course,
for you and the squad at the gate,

I don't know whether or not you recall me-
although I've had the pleasure several times when you've been
down here of renewing an acquaintanceship brought about some
years ago. My father, at that time, was president of the K,U,
Alumni, and on several occasions I accompanied him to Lawrence-
at which times he usually saw you. My aunt, Miss Florence
Black- of your faculty, is also an intense Kansas, Allen,
and basketball fan, and I understand she plans to make the trip
to Columbia.

Although I couldn't whole-heartedly wish that
you prove successful this Thursday, I do wish to extend my
sincerest congratulations on the fine ball team you've turned
out again this year. I guess it's a habit, :

Anticipating the pleasure of seeing you this
Thursday, I remain,

Very truly yours,

Robert W., Black
