CAMPBELL, RIGHT-OF-WAY ENGINEER CHANUTE LESTER GOODELL, ATTORNEY ROBT. WILLIS, DiviISON ENGINEER July 10, 1938 Dr. F. C. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doc, Dean Nesmith was here over the week end and informed me that you thought this work would do me some good. As far as I am concerned it is great stuff and I enjoy it. It is really not very hard but plenty dirty. The cement dust and such is a bit hard on you at times. All in all it pays me fifty cents an hour so I cent complain any. The money angle is really the most important one to me. Incidently Dean looked at my kneecand thoght it was doing very nicely. I think that I am going to Popeka next week end and I just wondered if you would have time to look at it next Saturday? I do not know what time I can be in Lawrence. You see I will have to wait until after work is over, and that can be any time between noon and five. That would make me rather late in getting there. However I could call you ad it would only take a few minutes. If you will be able to do that just let me know. The knee is doing very well. I have done nothing on it but play a little tennis to date. I ean planning on doing some running and so forth soon. I have not hurt at at all so I think it is doing very nicely. However I would like to have you look at it sinee I will be going through. r Everything has been going fime except that I didn't get to start to work until July 1. That will ge#ae put me short next fall but I can manage somehow. Dick Miller is working in Augusta this summer and will have plenty of money to start with next fall. ‘The family are all fine and about a s mean as ever. They send their regards to you and your family. Hove that everything is doing well by you. Be sure to remember me to the family and Bob. Incidently if I ever get time I shall weite hima line. You might tell him to do the same if his studies aren't getting him down. Let me know about next Sééurday. Sincerely [cA + ao Lal, Mee ay a e é Vi, G
