Dear Bill,

Believe it or not, I've been carrying your letter of May 27
on my desk for all this time waiting for an opportunity where-
by I could write you a long and lengthy epistle such as your
good letter. pa

I handled our Varsity baseball in addition to my own adminis-
trative duties last spring so that tied me up more definitely
than I had been heretofore. Then, I had a great many high
school commencement dates, and in addition, I had a lot of
grapefruit and lettuce speeches to make, 80 the summer came

on and since I taught eight classee in the summer session and
hed complete charge of the University summer recreation course,
I still found myself busy.

As soon as that was finished I went to Iowa to a coaching school
which was conducted by Clarke Shaughnessey, Bernie Bierman, Henry
Toba, and myself. On Sept. 6, my daughter, Jane, was married to

a young Princeton man who resides in Chicago, and if you have
women folk who have to do with weddings you can appreciate what a
busy time we had. Then, on Sppt. 15 we got our youngest son, Bob,
and our youngest deughter, Eleanor, on their way to the University
of Pennsylvania. Bob is studying medicine--he graduated from here
last June. His address is Room 44, Norris Hall, University of
Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa. leanor wanted to get away from
home after her sophomore year, so she is enrolled in the School of
Pine Arts and she is living at 415 Sergeant Hall, University of
Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa. .

Please do not feel at all that you are under any obligations

to see him until you have an opportunity, but I know that Bob
would be gled to see you if you have any tize. We are alone

in our big house here and the way we locate each other is by

keeping still and listen for the other rattling around--like

two dried peas in a pod--so you see, that's easy.

Eleanor and Bob attended the Kansas-Temple game in Philadelphia
last Friday night and seemed to have a good time. We got a fine
letter from Eleanor and instead of being homesick she is en-
thusiastically liking it more every dey and we know that Bob
realises that he is entering a profession that takes close
application and much work to get the proper training.
