Mr. Lawrence Stanton
Dodge City, Kansas
1127 Ohio Street

Dear Lawrence:

I find that I have failed to answer your good
letter of April 30th. I took on baseball in addition
to my basketball work and this together with a large
number of speaking engagements kept me from answering
your letter.

I am a little uncertain at the present time of
the possibility of getting away on the llth and 12th of
December. My basket 11 schedule is not completed and I
hesitate to make commitments until I complete my basketball
schedule.

I certainly will enjoy being with you but I'm sure
you can appreciate my situation. If you have someone else that
could fill my shoes at the present ——: I assure you I will not
feel the least bit offended.

I'll be glad to hear from you at your earliest
convenience.

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and

Recreation-Varsity Basketball and

Baseball Coach.
