Of course, I sent the release on to my son immediately. Tell Ruth Ogle that I appreciate what you and she are doing in regard to those materials which you feel would fit better into the W.C.U. Archives. I will be ready to make the transfer. We are currently completing the filing of the entire Kephart Collection by various categories. The correspondence has been filed for some time, and so have the books and the journals; but we are constantly finding additional letters. I will send you a master inventory of everything once it is properly filed. Please give my kindest regards to Ed Trout and to Dick Zani when you see them. Best wishes, Suk Richard W. Iobst University Archivist and Director of Oral Histor
