Dearest Jane and Hoot:

I'm not endeavoring to answer your fine letter at the
present but am answering your question. I'm sending you a
radio talk I made over KFKU a week ago. I gave this to the
press and they made a story out of it.

I'm sure the contents will answer your question. Will
write you soon in long hand but just gave my pint of blood
today and will sweat the rest of it out trying to make a
winning club out of my hopeful striplings.

With love,

Affectionately,

\
