Dear Dr. Allen:

Thank you very much for your kind letter
of recommendation. After reading it over, you must
be talking about someone else instead of me. It
made me swell up and almost burst the buttons off
my shirt. I hope that someday I will be able to
repay you for this kindness.

If the gas rationing is forestelled for two

or three more months, and I hope it is, it will

give me an opportunity to get down to Lawrence and
work with Jack some more. The way it looks now, the
Navy deal will probably take a couple of months

before I will hear anything definite on it, but should
I hear sooner than that, you will be one of the first
to know about it, because I want you to be.

Thanks again for all you have done for me.

Sincerely,
