Dear John:

When I called you today regarding Jack —
Suckaen I did not mean to put you. on the spot, I
assure you. i spent over two hours with the boy here
in the office going over his problems, and he had a

great many. ? |

i wanted to show bim that I was earnest
in helping him and my purpose in calling you was te oe
get names of certain individuals that I gould contact
in his behalf, : { :

daek had $35.00 to enter ool » all
the or at he had, i went to the limit get him a
job at $20.00 a month, ‘The fraternity thet he was to
wait tebles at wae to pay him 10,00 end his brother
was to give him 910,00, If he could get his brother
to loan him an additional $10.00 per month thet would
give him $50.00 te pay his monthly bills with. He
had but $35.00 to pay tuition and inefdentals, but he
had not counted on matriculation. The $15.00 would
see him through all the way, and it was this one eff
that I wanted to make in his behalf, |

Jack went back to Kansas City to get his
transcript, and I believe we have done a pretty good
Joo of appraising him of the. dangers as well as the
pleasures of a sollege education.

I want to thank you for your kindness dn
offering to contact some of these more fortunate men
in his behalf. I have a notion it would be $15,00
mighty well spent, and my purpose was to have these
men write Jack and tell hin that they were investing
this aacaunt of money in a young man to give him an
opportunity to brighten his talents in a bigger WAY.
