GALLAMO Kansas City, Mo., March 8, 1926. Professor Il. Mi. Hosman, Gallatin, Missouri. Dear Prof.. VVell, how is everything? I heard a short time ago that you were a mathematics teacher in a large university in the east. It has been nearly ten years since I was in Gallatin. Up until last June I had been editing a newspaper in Kansas City. As I hadn't had a vacation for a long time, I decided to take one' and visit different points through- out the country. Upon getting off of the train at Omaha, Neb., I was surprised to see that the telegraph operator was Forest Bailey. While talking with him, he told me that Barton Robinson and James Tuggle were joint owners of a large rodeo that was exhibiting there at that time. I went to the hotel to spend the night and was astonished to see that Justin Doak was the proprietor and Junior Lyle was one of the bell hops. After I left Omaha I went to Chicago. One night I went to one of the leading theaters. Ilere I was afforded a high class of entertainment by the IRVVIN-RICHESSON STOCK COMPANY. Edwin Irwin and Kenneth Richesson, who used to be the professional clowns down at school, were the owners of this company. VVhile in this city I was informed that Georgianna Burns and Claudine Kissing- er were employed in a large department store. I also found out that Gretchen Hope was a private stenographer for some Wealthy banker. Before leaving' Chicago I niet our good friend Lennis Creekmore, who told me that she was operating one of the foremost millinery estab- lishments of that city and that one of her assistants was Vivian Day. I also met Allen WQCIKIGII King, one of the leading chemists of Chicago. After leaving Chicago I decided to take a trip back through Missouri, and stopped off at Joplin where a large circus was encamped. I at- tended one of the evening performances and was surprised to see that the clown was Robert Stanley, the bare-back rider, Grace Doak, the bearded lady, Margaret N ewtong and the fortune teller, Marie Higby. Vincil tHoolyj Surface and Richard Trotter were the snake charmers
