Dear Doc:

I certainly was glad to receive your letter and the one
from Tech. Sgt. Louis A. Swink. Believe me it gives me a lot
more courage just to read Swinks letter. I have talked to a
lot of the Phillips basketball players since I have been back
and they all told me if anyone could fix my knee you would be
the one.

My knee feels just like new now, the swelling has gone
down and both legs are the same length. I have my father look
at then about every night to see if it is still in place.

I was talking to Coach Custer yesterday about when we
would start practice. He said it would be about the iast of
October. So when I start practicing I'll write and let you
know how I'm getting along. I also gave him your letter to
read and I asked him if there was anything he wanted me to tell
you. "He said he wishes you a very successful season and above
all thanks you for what you have done for my knee." For myself
and my father we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. There
is nothing I would rather do than play basketball.

Oh! by the way before I left Lawrence I went down town
and bought a piece of sheep skin like you had for Ralph Millers
knee and Custer is going to tape it on every afternoon when
we start practicing.

With all the good wishes for a successful basketball season,
Il am

Ing Yk
