Dear Coach:

I received your letter of April 30 in which you explain that
Arther Spangberg owes another debt to a Mrs. Taylor.

I do not have a personal acquaintance with Mrs. Taylor and do not
know the amount of the debt owed by Arthur. If you will please
contact her and ascertain the amount and write me or have her write
me stating the amount of the debt, I again will personally attempt
to see that Arthur takes care of this matter. He apparently did
nothing but spend money while at school. It was my impression that
he was to earn a part of his way, however, if he did earn any, it

es not applied on his accounts. 7

  

“ies. Ruth Spangberg , Sister, advised me that she would take care

of Mrs. Wellahausen and up to the present time, unless I hear to
the contrary, assume she has paid the obligation.

You, no doubt, realize that it is a difficult matter to keep a

son in college and is quite a problem and that the difficulties

of supporting or undertaking the responsibility of a young man

not of blood relationship is of two fold. Apparently, Arthur

did not realize his responsibilities to the fullest extent. This
indeed is a new experience to me and one from which I will, no doubt,
profit.

I hope the next relationship which we may have will not be so
disastrous for our connection and for others.

Sincerely yours,

Tre
