Dear Dr, Allen:

Your letter of April 14th, was very much appreciated. I
am taking it home to show Richard and then sending it on to
Josephine at Durham. The meny fine letters whichwe have had
from our friends have meant so much to use

Congratulations to Bob on his Phi Beta Kappae I know that
you and Mrs. Allen are very much delighted, as you should be.

Upon receipt of your letter I wrote another message to the
Nu Sigma Nu boys at Pennsylvania to inform them that Bob was
registered there and also that he had made Phi Beta Kappa, I
wish you would tell Bob now that I have written the Nu Sig boys
and that I sincerely hope he joins that fraternitye My only
contact with that particular Chapter was in the Fall of 1912, at
which time they had a very fine group. Of course, many years
have intervened since, but I am presuming that they have maintain-
ed the high stendard which has been held by the national fraternity

Josephine spent the last week of March with us as Duke Univer-
sity has a "Spring vacation" instead of an Easter vacation. She
arrived home on the evening of March 23rd, and returned to Durhem
on the 30th. Just before leaving for home she was elected President
of the College ¥. W. C. Ae I feel this is a very nice honor for
her as the "Y" there has a membership of more than 600 women. She
has been Vice=President during the present yeare

Richard is progressing nicely with his real estate work hav-
ing completed a sale and several rentals in the last few months.
I rather suspect that he will receive his draft questionnaire
before long but it should be a good many months before he
