Phog Allen autograph letter signed, with additional initialed postscript. Dated 10 February 1963, letter on Dr. Forrest C. Allen stationery reads in full, ''Dear Wint - I assure you that I do not expect to read that book sketchily but it may take me longer than I have any right to expect to keep the text. I came to the office at 9:50 a.m. today and was interrupted more times than I care to enumerate. I guess that I cannot budget my time or I am too easy of access. A cattleman from Salina drove to Law[rence] with a painful neck injury. An MD's wife here had lower back trouble. And while a newspaper man came to the office for a short interview, I left the front door open and a man and wife came in and said the man was in great pain and 'please will you examine him for me.' By that time I had lost all desire to follow through my assigned intention. Regards to Mrs. & you - Sincerely, 'Phog' / PS If you need it, give me the word and I'll return it to you immediately / FCA''. Single-page letter in green ink measures 8.5'' x 11''. Faint creasing from folding. Near fine.
