Dear Phog:

I can't tell you how disappointed I was to have missed
you. The reason our phone did not answer is because we have been
living all summer in a cottage out at Clear Lake. Harold "Muggsey"
Evans, told me that your son was at Culver this summer and would
enter Kansas University this fall. Harold has been doing a swell
job of rushing and tells me that things never looked better for Kansas
Alpha. Enclosed you will find a letter which he addressed to you
in eare of me in the hopes. that you would stop off in Meson City for
a visit with us.

In addition to Harold Evans, Jr., we have three or four
other fine young collegians working for us here and I want you to
know that we will be in position to take care of one or two of the
boys Kansas Alpha is rushing so hard next summer. I refer to Bill
Hogben and Bill McKinley, the two all star basket ball players out
of Kansas City. Both these fine lads visited us here at Mason City
and Clear Lake this summer and I believe nothing would please them
more than to come up here and work next summer. Be sure to bear this
in mind as it might have considerable influence upon their decision to
enter Kansas, as well as pledge Phi Psi.

Mrs. Lauterbach is here with us. I talked to Gus over the
telephone a week or ten days ago and he reparts thet Western Kansas
has received some very beneficial rains.

I expect to be in Lewrence either during rushing week or shortly
thereafter and will, of course, see you at that time.

Yours in the bonds,
Dr. Forrest CG. Allen,
