Dear Bob:

. t eertainly was delighted to have your letter and
to know that you have a good chance of tetting home for Eleanor's
wedding. :

Bob, I am sending you a copy of a letter that came
by Vemail from Technical Sergeant Louis A. Swink, who is in the Southe
west Pacific. I thought you micht be interested in reading this letter
from a chap whom I fixed up when Vic Hurt was doen at Oklahomm Baptist

school, and Gwirm Henry was teaching football and I was teach-
ing basketball. They drove up from Cisco, Texas, and I used him as a
part of my clinic in the treatment of athletic injuries.

For some reason he doubtless felt lonesome and wrote
iGe I em sending you-a copy of my reply to him. I also send hima —
Jayhawk Rebounds and I mentioned his name in the Rebounds so that it
would personalize itself to him. I+ just shows how small the world
is, after 211, and no mtter how far a fellow is awey from home it is
en interesting angle ag to what mon think and whom they think of at
various times.

: I am wondering if you would want to bring your golf
shoes home for \those few dsys. We might play a game or two, and I
think we sould get enough clubs to make out, and enough clothes to
fit you. Clif MoWilliams says he will give you a severe trimming.
He of course is coming in for the wedding.

With best of luck in studies, golf, eto., I am

Affectionately, Your Dad,
