Nile Kinnick's correspondence with his family, January-June 1939

1939-04-10: Front

April 10, 1939
Mr.  James W. Fay
Emmetsburg, Iowa
Dear Mr. Fay: Thank you again for your kindness, in sending as
the clipping from the Fort Dodge paper. It was a
nice one, and I sincerely hope the good wishes of
all lowans will be amply fulfilled next fall in
a satisfying comeback for the Iowa team.
Nile was home for three days last week and we had
a good but very fleeting visit with him. Saturday
he went back to Adel with me and expects to go on
to Iowa City on Monday. He had your recent letter
which enclosed the piece from the Sioux City paper,
so I have seen the news report of your radio talk
there. I have no doubt that the work that you and
others are doing for Iowa will bear good fruit in
the coming years, in leading more of our Iowa boys
to enroll at the University, and being somewhat
interested in Iowa State I shall bear the same
wish for that institution. It is a labor of love
and loyalty that you are in, and I know that you
have endeared yourself to one boy at the University.
With kind regards, I am
Yours very truly [Nile Kinnick, Sr.]
