* Dear John: —

- Your dad gent mo the all~Kansas team that you picked, and I
think it would be a dandy. Tus Ackerman at center, and guards Paul
Endacott and Charlie Black, would be a perfect pair, although Fred
Pralle and a lot of other Kansas men would be right in there. -

. Al Peterson at one forward, together with Charlie Black, the
second (the Charlie Black who is now flying a big ship in Italy and
who finished only two years of his competition ending in 1942) would
be a whale of a team. Charlie is 6 ft. 3 in., and weighs 220 lbs.,
end he is like a big boboat. I know you would enjoy seeing him play
—a. fit into this combination that you have
se ted.

i trust that things are going well with you.

With all good wishes for your health, happiness and safe return,
I an

Sincerely yours,
