Deazx' Louis:

/

I want to thank you for your letter which you
wrote February 14 and which was delivered by Mr. John
Glenn. I appreciated hearing from you and I only wish
that I might visit Beardstown and talk with the Mexican
Avenue gang on Fourth Street. You assure them that I.
will be back within six months.

Thank you for the exceptional designation -
"King B topper of all time". Rockne, the great argosy
of football was in a far greater niche in his sport than
IT em in mine. But it is kind of you to sharacterize me
as such and I greatly appreciate it.

Mrs. Allen and the family are happy to hear
from you. It was great to have John Glem with us. I
believe he enjoyed his visit, and we greatly enjoyed

‘With best wishes to you and your contemporaries,
I am

i

Sincerely yours,
