a basis that is reasonable and in keeping with the status of a new member
in the organization. Undoubtedly you have the qualifications for rapid
advancement, but you will be wise in not letting anyone or any group

it is on I am pleased that you can help some; all of which should not be
allowed to interfere too much with prior obligations such as class work
and the job with Anderson. You will exercise good judgment there, I know.
Again, watch and pray; which is to say, think. Also, vice versa.
I note your comment about the Sioux City date. My  only suggestion about
driving up, was to bring you here in case you wanted to come. We will do
nothing about it now, Isn't Barbara in the University this year, or is
it someother twinkling star?
Jimmy Kearns wrote me a nice letter and sent some prints of the picture
that I asked for. We now have at least three copies of Dick Culloms piece.
A man in an engineering office in our building gave me a copy, and 1 never
had met the man before. Very thoughtful of him.
I shall change the address for the Readers Digest and will sen you the
September copy which has been here for some time. May its never ending
numbers interest, inform and delight you during the many years to come.
Yours with love Pop
George and I plan to hear Wendell Willkie next Thursday night, and I
intend to ask Deac Walter and his wife if they want to ride out with
us as they have no car.
