, Dear Ottos

I am just writing and. saying hello ~ you in reply to your
good letter of March 26, That.is a long time ago and I kept your letter
here on my desk fully expecting to answer it at the first opportunity.

I did not get dina to St. Louis, as you know, for the

Physical Education Convention. I am Governor of the Rotary District
#123 here and I have had to visit ell the clubs in my area, which has
kept me exceptionally busy. I am going to Alma, Kansas, tonight to sped
there and, driving back late in the evening, Together with my duties as
councilman from the first ward, president of the Lawrence Country Club,
and.a lot of outside duties, it kept me very much on the move. I trust
that you will excuse me in not answering your letter sooner. :

I am pretty much’ interested in this Davenport, Towa, boy.
If you hear from Fred or his mother, please tell them that we are hope
ing that he will attend KeU. The fact that Fred's mother is a Kansas
. City girl might help us. a |

I missed you here at the Kansas Relays and doubtless you.
have found yourself in the same fix that I often find myself in, just
too many things to do to get away.

- Milton has spoken most fondly of you, Otto, and he dppre-
ciates the many fine things that you did in his behalf. He is at Great.

‘Lakes today getting his discharge from the Navy and he will -practice
law here in Lawrence upon his return. He will always be thankful to you

. for your great aid to him, , . —. :

: Bobby. will be frozen in the Navy as a medic for quite
sometime» ac dées not have any idea when i will get out.

With all good wishes to you, your good wife, and your
family, I am cae :
