Letter from Don M. Yost to LP, RE: Yost hopes that LP's trip to England will be pleasant and he is sure it will. Yost doesn't know if LP likes poetry, but he submits for LP a few lines "by Chaucer and Yost." The poem that follows is Yost's rewrite of "The Parson" from Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, adapted to describe LP. Yost titles it "The Prof." [Filed under LP Personal Safe, Drawer #2, Folder #2.006]
