Allen Director. of Physical Education and Recreation University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doc: Thanks a lot for your letter of September 14th. I was terribly sorry to miss you the other day, but your office was full when I was there in the morning and I missed you in the afternoon. I did want to tell you how much I appreciated your efforts in my Mother's behalf towards obtaining for her the House Mother job at the Sig Ep House at Lawrence for this coming year. I certainly think it was fine of you to write the letter for her and she has asked me repeatedly to tell you how much she appreciated es I expect to bring my family up Sunday for a short time to see her, and I will be glad to call you at home then, as I would like to talk to you for a few minutes. Things are going o.k. here and it looks like a very busy fall. I think that forty two you shot on the golf course the other day was o.k. and I'11 have to have strokes when we go out to play our game. Thanks again for your fine letter and will call you Sunday. erie Bill Powell
