Dear Sir:

Wish to acknowledge receipt of your recent wiree You said
answer by Western Union, but did not say wire collect, therefore
I did not feel able financially to do it at my own expensée

I was unable to report for class Friday as you suggested.

Since my salary there has been reduced materially, I thought
maybe you might be willing to carry me on the pay roll during

the coming school year. I think there are a few that have been
carried on the pay roll one way or the othere If a deal of this
nature can be arranged, it would be a great help to me in getting
adjusted elsewhere. ;

Before I resign formally, there is a matter I would like to
have brought to the attention of the Universitye I came to
Kansas University in the fall of 1925 at a salary of $2200 for
twelve monthse The fiscal year on the contract reads from
September 1925.. July Ist 1926 the contract was changed to
read fiscal year from July lst.

This case carries the same status as that of Cappon, Steele,

Lookabaugh and Sabee According to my addition I have $366.66
due me from the University of Kansas. What do you intend to

do about it?

Very truly yours,
