in Kansas, and I know how sincerely you mean everything you say; which,
of course, adds to the value of your felicitations.

I have been very happy in my two years at Topeka, and I
think I can say it has been a period of great valuee I have had a most
loyal and cooperative staff, and have received from the state officials
the finest kind of supporte However, there is considerable satisfaction
in being able to return to Emporia to head up that fine educational
institutione I shall give it my very best to continue the great tradition
that has been built theree I am happy, of course, that in this new
position I will have many opportunities for contact with you, and I do
not think it is necessary for me to repeat againg but for the sake of
