July 11, 1940.

Dr. F, C. Allen,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Doe:

I spent so much time with my farmer up northwest
of Leonardsville that I didn't get back into Lewrence.
It was late when I came through Manhattan so I took the
cut-off vie. Emporia and beat it for home as fast as I could
make ite

I didn't have anything particular on my mind,
but did want to discuss several unimportant questions with
you had you been available.

Had a nice visit with the family and was par=
ticularly pleased to encounter Mary and Mit with his femily.

Ellsworth sent me a nice letter with reference to
my service on the Board, containing bologna in large and thin
slices. My good friend Woody tried to get Fred to have the
Board of Directors abrogate the existing rule thet prohibits
any alumnus from serving more than two consecutive terms, but
Ellsworth was insistent on some Wichita men being put on the
Board and I observe that he accomplished his desiree He has
had the notion that Wichita should be lined up with a good deal
more of enthusiasm than it has shown in the past. Personally,
I don't think they will ever get Wichita off its dead fanny.

I may get up leter in the summer and if I do I sure
went to have a chat with youe There is one thing I want to
talk to you about at the very first opportunity.

With warmest personal regards, I am

Cordially yours,
