Correspondence to and from Nile Kinnick, friends and family regarding his championship football season, August-December 1939

1939-12-14: Front

Omaha, Nebraska, December 14, 1939
Dear Ben:
This will be much shorter than is my wish,  in order that
it can be posted before the last call at the corner box.
Enclosed is a check that should supply your needs for the
rest of this quarter.    Please  inform of us of your plans
for coming to Omaha for the very welcome Christmas vacation.
The doings of your brother have been throwing me in the
end zone nearly every day for the past couple of weeks and
I no sooner think I will twist out somehow than something hits me
from the blind side.  We will go into all of it
when we nave a huddle next week.
We are so glad that you have the sketch of Nile  in the
News  that we all liked.  I, too, picked up a little number of
a similar sort.    You remember the picture in last Sunday's
Register of the Notre Dame game; the touchdown play and the
insert of the point  Kick? I have an enlarged picture of
that, 18 x 22 inches. that George Yates gave me.  How would
it fit  into your gallery.
In your anxiety to join the family group I  trust that you
will leave no task undone, no effort unmade that will
contribute to your own good record in the classroom and lab
at Iowa State.   Do a good clean job all the way.
Love
Pop
