Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Doctor,-= >

This is to advise you that the young man, Mr. Gale Botts,
who accompanied my wife to see you this last spring has finally de-
termined to come to K. U. for school this fall. The graduates of .
Kansas State at Menhattan have been after him hot and heavy to get
him to go there, but he has obtained a love for K. U. and was very
highly impressed with you, and wants to come down there and make good.

We will have as our principal of the high school here this
yeer Lawrence Butler, whom I believe was a member of the K. U. basket
ball squad in the late twenties or earliy Thirties, perhaps that will
help boost the desire of the local students to go to K. U.

We have another boy much interested in coming to K. U. but
I'll have to see what can be done towards obteining a job of part time
work at least. He is elso a good basketball and baseball player. Whether
good enough for the class played in K. U. or not remains until he has
been developede

Assuring you of our desire to help in every way possible,
and knowing you will be interested in these boys, I am,
