Dear Dr. Allen:

Thank you very much for your recent letter
regerding your appearance at our commencement
program. Owing to the limited amount set aside
by the Board of Education for obtaining 4 speaker
we shall have to be satisfied with a speaker
atiews our County. I realize it is a long drive
and this time of the season your time is limited.
Several of us,including Mr. Kissell, have hopec
that we might be able to have for this occasion
once at least. I have not forgotten how much l
enjoyed and how valuable 1 felt your classes
were while attending the coaching school at
Topeka several summers ago. Thanking you again

I am,

Very cordially yours,

TRB Yoo —
