Dear Phog,

Thanks very much for your kind note of January 26th
in regard to my new appointment. I appreciated your thoughtful-
ness.

Recent events have certainly borne you out in the matter
of gamblers and Eastern basketball. You may already have seen
the New York Times story in which you are mentioned but I want
to be sure so [I am sending it on.

Harriet and I still revember with great pleasure our evening
at the Country Club with the Allens, and Mother. We enjoyed
every bit of it. You will be intere sted to know that I took
up golf late this summer and got a real bad case of "golf
fever", Anyway next time I come out there I am looking forward
to a few rounds with you over the Lawrence Country Club where
I played the game many years ago. You've never really scen a
"hook", Phog, until you've seen mine !

Give our very best to lhirs. Allen.

Fraternally yours
