Dear Cob:

This will acknowledge your good letter of March 26.
Thank you for your very fine letter, and rest assured that nothing
would give mo more pleasure than:to have: had you and Bobby Lymn
present at the celebration. Sut I understand why you could not
make it. It really was a fine meeting and I thoroughly enjoyed
ite |

Yes, thank you, Cob, I greatly enjoyed the letter that
you wrote. Mrs. Allen and I read it with great satisfaction.
They have put these letters and photographs in @ large album,
which is one of the most clever things that I have seene Some=
timo when you come to my home I want to invite you to spend six
hours and forty-five minutes perusing this multitude of generous
documents that were assembled by Dr. Elbel, Mrs. Hulteen and the
committee who did a tremendously wonderful job for the Allen

At the first opportamity I am going to write a combined
letter to all of my friends and try to pick out one thought from
each letter and mail that to them. I may get around to it by
Christmas. ,

Now, regarding our going through the N.C.A.A. finals. I
want to assure you that I was very happy to have the thing end _
just where it did. We had a long season, and if we hadn't played
another game efter the Missouri geme I would have considered it a
magnificent season.

I will wait until in the morning and read your prognosis
as to the outeome of the game for tonight, but I wouldn't be a
bit surprised to see the Oklahoma Aggies whip the boys from Norman.
Personally, I do not think this is as good a team as the Seat boys
were in their sophomore year. They played one of their best games
ageinst us at Norman, but personally I do not think they are as
hot as you evaluate their ability.
