Dear Bower:

Many thanks for your letter!

Of course I'll be glad to do whatever you want me to do, and you may feel free to use me as you wish.

I had planned to fly back on Thurs., but I think there is still time to change the return date. I'll try at once, and let you know whether I can return on Saturday.

I've arranged to fly by United Air Lines leaving Kansas City at 2:20 p. m. on Feb. 20, and arrving in Portland at 8:05 p. m., your time. This will be flight 547. I'm so eager to be with you (both singular and dual number!) and I'll be glad to be with some of your students and friends.

Affectionate thoughts,

Jno. Neihardt

It's good of you to plan for Robin. I think he'll like the [?] there!
