Dear Friend:

I guess you will get tired of writing letters for me,
but then the Navy must have so many copies of everything, In order
not to bother "Doc" Allen so much I would appreciate it if you would
make two copies of the last recommendation for commission letter
that he wrote for me. I have to have these copies very soon as
I am being shipped from the states. Please have him sign both
copies and leave them undated,

I received his last Jayhawk News and really enjoy the
K.U. scuttlebut very much. It does seem tragic that so many fine
K.U. boys have lost their lives. I see a few old grads once in a
while and enjoy meeting someone from the mid-west,

I wish you and "Doc" Allen the happiest of a New Year
and everything fine for the whole Athletic Department.

Sincerely yours,

Livre Ze. ete.
