Dear Dr. Allen:

First, Let me say that
I realize how busy you are and that this
letter does not require an answer.

But I do want to thank
you for your gracious treatment of Ethel
and her children the other night in Saint
Louis. I have a letter from them and you
may be sure they genuinely enjoyed the
visit with you.

As usual, I'm watching
your schedule carefully. Apparently you
have an excellent ball club again and they
seem to be coming along mighty fast right
now. You certainly gave Missouri a sound
pveating last night. Was glad to see Charlie
Black come through with such an amazing
performance as it is evident he had some
early troubles which he has, no doubt, over-
come. I trust they will all remain ‘hot!
against Oklahoma this week and throughout
the season, as well.

With kindest personal

regards and every good wish for you and
yours, I am,

Sincerely,
