Dear Johnnie:

It was not at all necessary for you to write a lenghty
epistle in respect to my short note enclosing the Jayhawk Rebounds.
We have put you on the mailing list for the Rebounds but your letter
ef the eighteenth sounds as if you did not get No. 17 which would
recall the Iowa State Dream Touchdown game. I am sending you one
along with this letter and I am again putting you on the list.

My secretary's mother took ill and she was called out of —
town. I camot check this Jist wntil she gets back because I let
her handle that.

Doubtless, of course, you have learned long since of Memi
Nettels' illness. It certainly was a shock, but although I wrote to
Mathilda I have not had word from her recently. But I am sure she is
getting along. At least I sincerely hope she is. :

Yes, it was a very active bit of campaigning by a group in
Kansas City, Missouri. I do not know the reason, only George told me
that J. G. Nichols had pledged his vote to Charlie Shaeffer. So when
a good Beta like J. C. doesnt vote for George then the campaign must
have been thorough and forceful.

We have missed your trek through Lawrence this year. The
ODT messed up a lot of plans, but it was best, of course, under the
conditions.

Mrs. Allen understands how busy you are in the short time
you are here in Lawrence, so she can understand not seeing you, of
course. With best wishes to you and yours, I am

ts

Sincerely,

Forrest C. Allen
Director, Physical Education
