Nile Kinnick correspondence, January-May 1942

1942-04-04: Page 08

the regularity of yours, mother, has helped a lot.  Enjoy them more than you know, but don't feel that you have to break your neck to get a letter off.  You all are very busy, too, I'm sure.
If I had not made the first team in football you folks would not have told me that the coach was too damn dumb to recognize merit, but that hypothetical will indicate what I think of the F.C. Board -!
Glad to hear that you are on the church board, Gus, it was the "best shot in the dark" they every made.
Incidentally, my card was sent to Waukon, not Decorah, wasn't it?
Did read the 1st article on "Dr Barnes" - pretty good - when he called Woolcott an hunk of suet I guffawed without restraint.  Must close now - glad you liked the picture - things go well.
Yours,
Nile
In another envelop I shall send a couple of letters you may want to see.
