‘Dear Jimmies

November 16, 1945,

Gosh, you hit me right in the middle, Jimmie. On the
square, there isn't a ticket in the office except some in the
end gone and they are $1.60 tickets. And you know, Jimmie, I
will buy the tiskets for you if you want these $1.60 ones, but
frankly, Earl Falkenstien hasn't a thing and thers are darned
few of these $1.60 tickets.

I had him lay six aside for you, and nothing would
give me more pleasure than personally buying them for you. I |
say this because I want you to know that I think that much of
you as a friend. But they are darned rotten seats, I imgine,
There are no good seats in the Ruppert Stadium.

farl would give you these tickets if there was a way
out for him, but with the set up he can't do that. Let m
know right away, Jimsie, and I will get then to you if you want

these end zone seats.

Dear Doc:

Once again, I am on tap with ~ requeste
Must have six tickets for the nsas-Missouri
game and if you will let me know the price then
will forward on my check.

Also understand you will have the greatest basket-
ball team im America this year. The grapevine in-
forms me that you have the talent on hand and God
knows the coathing wial be the best, so with me on
the sidelines there is no question regarding the
brilliant outlook. Guess I will just parlay K Us
for wins throughout the seasone

I wrote Harl Falkenstein for some tickets but he
was entirely out. I thought you might be able to
take care of me personally for my wife and family
on these six tickets. Kindest regards. Looking for-
ward to sceing you in the near future.

bneerely,

Dear Dr. Allen: i

From many sources, I have heard that Navy Day, 1945, |
ranks with the best that Kansas has ever observed, and I want .
to express my sincere thanks for the time and effort you ‘|
spent in making it the success that it was. The Classifica-
tion Clubs played a vital role in insuring that proper tribute ‘
was paid to the men of our Navy. 2

The Navy should receive, at the earliest possible :
date, a full report of the activities within our state, and :

I would appreciate receiving a detailed report in duplicate, &
from you at your earliest convenience, together with two :
copies of all printed material, programs, etc., that made

up your program.
Thanking you ‘again for your fine cooperation, I am £
