Dr. Forrest C.Allen,
Lawrence, Kansas,

Kind Friend;
No doubt you will be somewhat surprised
to get this.

Since our misfortune in losing Don,my wife
has been traveling with me and this leaves Jack
entirely on his own, We were in Lawrence last week-
end and he seems to be worrying a great deal,due to
the fact that he has,as yet,been unable to make any
connections for the next school term,

He has always been quite a boy for home
environment and of course he misses Don a lot. Al-
together it is pretty hard on him and he is so
anxious to get located before next fall.

_ I have wondered if you could find time to
talk to him sometime,as 1 know it would help him a
lot and I wiil certainly appreciate it. He has a
world ot confidence in you ana if you could assist
in getting him placed for next term he will be very
grateful,

I trust this is not asking too much,altho
I know you are awfully busy at this time,

Perhaps it will be just as well if you don‘t
tell Jack I wrote to you,

Thanking you in advance for any help you can
offer and also for past courtesies I beg to remain,

with kindest personal regards,
ery truly yours, /
