Dear Nile:
Bert McGrane's column in yesterday's Register was of particular
interest and I am enclosing it for your perusal. Please return
it in an early letter. I thought it so good that I wrote him
a little note of appreciation.
This morning before I left home Bob Hobbs called up and said
that he had just come in this morning on the streamliner about
2 A.M.    He asked me to write one of his  letters of recommendation,
and it is his  intention to come down to K.C. as soon as his
papers are in order. He must obtain a berth certificate and his
other letters. He did not state definitely, but I gathered that
he will be down tomorrow,  Tuesday.
Bob promised to come over for a little visit late this afternoon
after I get home from the office so we are looking forward to
seeing him at that time.
On Wednesday of this week I am driving over to Adel to spend
Thursday on farm business,  and on Friday will drive to Ames for
Ben,  and we will return to Omaha that afternoon.
You will of course keep us informed on any leave that you may have
for Christmas, and we hope it will be possible for you to be home
at least a day or two during that period.

Saving...
