Acceptance


                               April 5, 1941

L.-r, John W. Brooker,
Secretary pro ten,
Board of Trustees,
University of Kentucky,
Frankfort, Kentucky

Mlly dear John:

     I acknowledge receipt of your letter of April 4,
officially advising me of my election as Comptroller
of the University of Kentucky beginning Mlay 1, 1941.
I arm pleased to be able to accept the appointment and
will begin my duties as soon after May 1, as conditions
connected with ray present position will permit.

     I desire to express to you my sincerest apprecia-
tion for the confidence that the Board of Trustees
have expressed in rmy election.  The reorganization
made by the Board in connection with the position of
the Comptroller greatly expands the duties and re-
sponsibilities of the heretofore office of the Business
Agent, all of which challenges the best that is in me.
I want you to know that I appreciate your personal
action in ray behalf and thank you for your congratu-
lations,   I trust that when in Lexington, or at
the University, you will make my office your head-
quarters.

     With best regards to you, I am
                         Sincerely,
                                (Signed) Frank D. Peterson.
