Dear Dr. Allen:

After having completed a month's work
in the harvest fields at Downs, I have
accepted a position in the office of the
Hardman Lumber Co. at Phillipsburg, Kans,

There is a large community building here
which has a fine basketball court in it.

I have been granted access to the building
to vractice basketball in it after I get
offiwork in the evenings.

I am wondering if I could get a basketball
from you with which to: practice.

I have been getting along fine this summer
and hope to be in shape for a good hard
season of basketball this winter. My worry
over grades is over for the present at
least because I made straight A's again
last semester. I'll really be able to
take the game seriously this fall.

\
Thank you very much,

Sincerely,

Jim Arnold
