Miss Helen Wagsteff, Secretary,
Bureau of General Information, —

My dear Miss Helen:

I have kept your letter of December 15th on
my desk, hoping to respond to your request; but frankly,
I have been so confounded busy that I haven't had an
opportunity to sit down and do the _ that I wanted
to do for yes

I am having the letter returned to my desk so
that I oan answer it fully, if and when I have a breath- —
ing spell. Will you please forgive me my negligence?

My desire has been to respond promptly, but it has been
- impossible.

Very sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Edueation,
