Dear Roy,
I certainly thank you for your good letter and your check
as of October 9. You made Mrs. Allen extremely happy and

I can tell by the tone of this letter that "my wife's
husband” is equally s0.

Yes, this check is substantially larger and for the pre«
ceeding quarter I want to ask you to accept my thanks and
appreciation and convey them to the “big Boss" and all of
his office who so loyally work for him and with him.

I am sorry that I did not get to see Gene Tunney when he was

in Kansas City. I called him up and had a nice visit with »

him when he was in St. Lovis and had a business talk with hin
but it was not about Goal-Hi. I was interested in getting a
young athletic director here in the Lawrence high school accepted
as one of his 600 athletic directors who he was seleoting for

his navy personnell. If I had had the opportunity I would have
put in a Goal-Hi plug but did not. He told this young man,
Maurice Cannady, thet he was very fond of me and glad to hear
from mee He came on to Kansas City, but it was necessary that

I call him in St. Louis because Maurice was to be called in the
draft the next day had he not been accepted by Mr. Tumey.

I was tied up with Masonic wort the night he was in Kansas City
and could not get up to see him having had two speaking engage-
ments, one with the Lawrence teachers earlier in the evening, and
the Masonic meeting which closed just before midnight.

I am wondering if you or one of your assistants could write me and
let me know why Goal-Hi went on a boom in sales the last few
weeks. Is it service orders, industrial consumption, high school
sales, or what that have increased sales recently?

I would appreciate Provi time to tine your giving me a break-

down analysis showing w the consumption is taking place
‘ in one of those above n sources. Thanking you I em

| Sincerely, —
