My Dear Doctor:

I received your nice letter this morning, and thank
you for it. If our limited hespitality was of any benefit
to you, I assure you that you were most welcome.

I don't want you te begin to think that I intend be-
coming a bothersome letter writer, but I had another thought
or two that I wanted to convey to you. Mrs. Forsyth came
to see me today to find out whether or not you were actually
interested in her boy, and whether or not in my humble op-
inien he had a geod chance of being a varsity man at K. U.
It was easy to assure her that she was correct on both counts.
More important, she told me that she did not want Bill te
work his first year, and I know her well enough to know that
she generally has the last word at her house, so if I caused
you any worry about the job matter I mentioned yesterday,
you can new forget that angle.

Bill and Tiny DeWeese were guests at the Relays last
year and had a bad experience. They were lodged at some
fraternity house and everything went fine until about mid-
night when the Saturday night drunks began coming in, woke
every body up and caused a regular: madhouse to ensue. It
worked out too that Bill had to sleep with one of the drunks.
Now I am neither an athlete ner a puritan, and might have
enjoyed the antics, but those boys didn't, and came home
so disgusted, that I have always thought that was the big
reason DeWeese was so set against K.U. I realize that you
have a limited amount of time for personal attention of the
individual boys, but I did want to warn you about this mat-
ter as there might be very harmful results if such an epi-
sode were repeated this year. I hope you will consider this
as confidential as I have no ambition te start a crusade to
reform the 15% of the students you mentioned the other night.
I am so confident that you will like and want this boy that
I do not want anything to happen that might turn him against
coming up to you.

With kindest personal regards, I am,
