Mr. Forrest C. Allen,

Lawrence, Kansas.

My dear Sir:-

I nave your letter or June 6th, in reply to my
inquiry relative as to what determines a professional.

My poy and I wish to take this means or thanking
you tor clearing up this point and also for the otner
suggestions given us that your letter contained.

We are inclosing $4.10 to cover cost and postage
for the purchase ot your book "Better Basketoall".

As Gerala is better now than I ever was, I am very
glad to be able to get your book, in order that we may
study it together in connection with the coaching he
receives at High school.

It this is out of order, please forgive me, it is
my hope that Gerald may be good enough in his span of
college play to come under your coaching. He says that
he is working toward goal or in time making "Gerald Turner"
mean more to Kansas than "Geraid Tucker" wiii to Oklanoma.
On a trip to Salt Lake City Utah last summer, we went thru
the University or Utan's gymnasium. He told me that I
woula see him play ina place like that.

Again thanking you for your kind letter and if you
would autograph our book, we would be more than gratetrul.

Sincerely yours,
