Dear Dr. Allens

The Bureau of Navigation has ordered me to report for duty
at the Naval Air Station, Quonset Point, Rhode Island,
June 17th. I had hoped to get back to Kansas before re-
porting but it appears that I am going to be much too busy
to take a week. However, it may be that I will later be
transferred to the western coast and if so, 1 will stop

in for a few days.

I suppose that it is somewhat of a relief to you to have
this school year almost completed. I know it would be a
relief to me. The notices in the paper regarding base-
ball and track do not indicate much if any activity on
the part of directorship of athletics or can that be at-
tributed to the Chancellorship?

Emily joins with me in sending our very best to you and
yours.

Fraternally yours,

"WLI ZA
