Dear Superintendent MolMillan:

You pay me a fine tribute in asking me to address the
graduates at your high school on Friday, May 19th. :

I have been coaching baseball heretofore, and the
generel feeling is that we will have a versity team this
year, although it is still rather wmeertain. I feel rather .
confident that ZI oen accept, but I am wondering if I might
have # couple of weeks to check the dates. If that will be)
soon enough, I will be glad to give you my decision in that
time, if agreeable to you. Nowever, I feel ——e eer~
tain that I can accept.

Again thanking you for your kind invitation, and assuring
you it will be a pleasure to see you again, I am

Sincerely yours,

a Director of Physical Education,
PCA:AH : Varsity Basketball Coach.
