“*“MAKE THE HOME BANK YOUR BANKING HOME’? 83-1299 THE HOME S8TATE BANK CAPITAL AND SURPLUS $100,000.00 RUSSELL, KANSAS February 11, 1938 Dr. F. C. Allen Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doe: Just a word to let you know how much I appreciate receiving a copy of your book with such a kind remembrance on the first page. I had planned on purchasing a copy in the near future, but I am sure this copy will mean more to me than any that money could buy. The three years that I spent on the basketball squad at the University will always stick out in my memories and to read your book will undoubt- edly bring back others that I have forgotten. I hope that you will be able to pay the Allen's, Shaffer's and the rest of Russell a visit sometime before Mit gets transferred. If you do not get out here before Mit leaves, I am afraid you will never make it. I am sure you are anxious to see your new granddaughter. They say she is a dandy. Thanking you again for your book, I remain Sincerely Wcbucy Bab Lhe Wilmer "Bub® Shaffer
