August 17, 1943. Mr. Ve Ee Hofstetter, Sales Department, Atlas Athletic Equipment Co., 4439 Manchester Ave., St. Louis (10), Mo. Dear Mr. Hofstetter: We have delayed in sending through our requisition ay mat covers due to the fact thet we were uncertain as to whether the Navy officiels stationed here were going to obtain the same thing. Inasmuch as we are giving physical training to the Navy V-12 stulents we desired to conserve on equipment as much as possible. However, they do not know when they might get the mat covers, and we have sent the requisition through our University business office for the covers. a heave recommended that the purchase be made from your Me Very sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, PCAsAH Varsity Basketball Coach.
