June 19th, 1938,

Mr. Forrest C. Allen,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kansas,

‘Dear Mr. Allen:

For almost one month the writer has been won-
déring why the great "Phog"Allen should send am auto- _
graphed copy of “Better Basketball" to a humble student
of the game. My father returned recently from an ex-
tended road trip and told me the complete story. While
he was with Mr. and Mrs. Lee Hamilton, basketball tur-
ned up in the conversation and Dad said I had played
some and had been helped immeasurably by a book written
by "some man out in Kansas", You can imagine his stfprise,
and mine too, when he found out Mrs, Hamilton was your
daughter.

Yes Sir, it will be exactly ten years this
coming Christmas since receiving My Basketball Bible,
and if you ever have cause for signed testimonials let
me state I have never read any book on sports which
deals more thoroughly with the subject than yours.

I sincerely thank you for your gift and remain,

Most sincerely yours,
