Dear Phog:

Thanks for your good letter of December 4. Glad to know you got back all
right and that you enjoyed your trip. Certainly we here in Cleveland
enjoying having you with us, and I am sure you did our boys here a great
deal of good. I haven't had an opportunity to visit with any of the
people who attended the McDonald meeting, but I am certain they also en=
joyed having you with them,

My trip to Ann Arbor was a very satisfactory and satisfying one. Five
of the top-flight doctors of the University staff went over me, Three of
them voluntarily said they hoped that when they were my age they would be
in as good physical condition as they found me to be. Dr. Barker, the
cardiologist, really gave me a very thorough going-over. He found my
heart to be in A-l shape, told me to go ahead and play handball - no
singles, but doubles = not to exceed two or three times a week until I
had some definite symptom that the exercise was not agreeing with me,

Looking forward to seeing you again in the near future and, if not before,

at the time of the meeting in Kansas City, I am as always, with many
thanks

Sincerely yours

Floyd A. Rowe, Directing Supervisor
Bureau of Physical Welfare
