My dear Dr. Allen:

I blush for the lateness of this reply. Your good letter
under date of December 21 came with many Christinas letters and
was put aside with them to be answered. ‘They are not answered
yet, which is my reason for not answering your questions about
Mrs. Foster. Accept my apologies and give to the Allen §amily
my kindest greetings.

Tell Mrs. Allen I would love to know about the holiday
trip, especially Chicago and West Point and the girls.

Mrs. Ida Foster is Mrs. Oda Fosters I am sure because I
too had a letter from Miss Meguiar. Mrs. Foster is the mother
of Jack and Bob, two of our fine graduates. When you lived in
Warrensburg their home was on Grover Street near the hotel.
There a little Foster girl died. I think she was one of Mary's

friends. Mrs. Foster's husband was Port Foster.

She is a very handsome woman, with good manners and a great
interest in young people. She has had students in her home for
years and for about three years managed the Phi Sigma Epsilon
Fraternity house most satisfactorily.

in my letter to Miss Meguiar, I gave Mrs. Foster my un-
qualified recommendation. This is with all of my good wishes
to you and your family.

Very truly yours,

Mrs. Os Le Houts
Dean of Women
