Dr. F. C. Allen, September 9, 1938
Kansas University,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Dr. Allen:

I want to thank you for your letter, to Bruce, the other day. It very plainly
indicated your Sincere, personal interest in him and if he doesn't get down to
brass tacks and really show you that he is made of something worth while, I

am going to be a sadly disappointed mother. But 1 am sure that he will. You
will smile to yourself, I know, because 1 am so convinced that Bruce is capable
of great things.

I will have to admit that he has been prone to procrastinate but at least I
think you will agree that it wasn't with any willful intention to frustrate any-
body's wishes. He has been a little too pleasure loving but I cannot fall out

too much with him over that because I am sure that is one of the traits he in-
herited from his mother.

But Bruce is older now and he has learned a lesson. He is very unthusiastic
over this year's plans and prospects and he would not go anywhere else or train
under any one else for anything in the wide world. And I think you will find
that he will be in there fighting, getting his lessons and cooperating with a
to the fullest.

Anyway , regardless of what happens I want you to know I think you have aiwiee
been patient and fair with him and I am very thankful to you. I am happy to
have him under your supervision and I hope you and 1 and all of us will be very
proud of him this year. We are looking forward to seeing some of the games this
year and to the pleasure of seeing you occasionally. With every good wish,

Si cerely yours :

P. S. Howard #ngleman and Bruce are driving up to Lawrence, Sunday, so they
will be seeing you soon.
