Dear Dr. Allen:

I have not previously acknowledged your note of May 8th
with which was enclosed the Jayhawk Rebounds, No. 15. Personnally it
was guite a thrill to me to see that our names appeared in the publica-
tion. You have previously sent me two or three copies of the Rebound
and I am wondering if my name might be placed on the mailing list to
receive each issue.

I have read every word in this news letter and have sent
it on to Richard, who I know will have as much pleasure in reading it as
I had. I am acquainted with only a very small number of the men you
mentioned, however I feel that I know most of them because of having

read their various activities while in school. Your appointment to
the police committee after your becoming a city official was most inter-
esting.

It does not seem possible that the years have passed so
rapidly that Bob has completed medical education, his interneship and
is by now on the medical corps. On the other hand, it is now eight years
since we moved from Kansas to Arlington and have now been in New York
for more than seven years.

Josephine writes that she has received her cholera and
typhus injections and is anticipating an early call to overseas service.
She had her basic training at Camp Swift, Texas, and since that time has
been at the Station Hospital at Camp Howze, Texas. Early last month,
having passed her overseas physical, she was given a 10-day leave of
absence, came back to New York and as you can imagine we had a busy time
during her short stay here. Richard wrote that at the time of the surrender
of Germany he was located at Bad Nenndorf and has moved two or three times
since then. Early in June they were sent to a small town on the Moselle
near Cobenz, but in a letter received today and written on June 27th he
gave the name of still another place. Although he has not said, I am
presuming that in all probability his division is being kept over there for
occupation duty.
