Allen University Of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doc: It must have been inspiring to see so many people who wished you so well. Even those, Doc, who are in bitter disagreement with you have to admit that you are solid gold. There is one thing, My Friend, that I would council you about. Remember, you are not as young as you may feel at times. I found just the other day that I could no longer play three or four games of hard singles at hand ball. I've had to cut it down to one or two games of singles because the old zip won't be there the next day. Doc, you are a tradition at Kansas, Be sure to take care of that old body of yours so when my boy comes to Kansas in seven or eight years you will still be in shape to give him the ad- vantage of your association. God Bless you, Boy. Cordially yours os er ree ea aT ES Mate ee eee ee
