LAW OFFICES OF JOHN A. RUSH PACIFIC FINANCE BUILDING Los ANGELES,CAL. April 9, 1940. Dr. Forrest C. Allen, University, of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Bro. Allen: After I had received your letter dated December 8, 1939, concerning donations to Kansas Alpha for refurnishing the chapter house, I made some inquiries as to the situation and, about two months ago I wrote to the Special Alumni Committee, 1100 In- Giana St.,,Lawrence, a report as to what I ‘ascertained. I have heard nothing from it, and am wondering whether or not you;have seen it. In my letter I asked for further information from which I eould determine what I should fairly do as to making a contribution, but I have not been furnished with it. ? I want to assure you and the other brothers that I am willing to help my chapter when it is reasonably entitled to it, and shall appreciate a letter from you after you have read my letter. If, under the circumstances, you advise that the chapter is entitled to aid then I shall send in a check pay- able to the order of whatever payee you may designate. This Commencement will be the GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY REUNION of my Class ot 1890, and I should be most happy to attend, but the distance to be travelled is so great and the heat sometimes exper- ienced at that time of year somewhat deters me. With my personal regards, I am, Fraternally, ! Ohn A. Rush $21 So. Hudson Ave OS Angeles, Calif.
