had given him whatever information and advise you might havee

I have just dispatched a letter to Jack Gardner, the new Basketball
Coach at Kansas State, who was formerly an associate of mine here
in California (despite the fact that he is a U.S.C. graduated).

I thought perhaps Jack might give me some inside, first-hand.
information, which might answer the question as to whether an ap=
plication should be filed at this timee

Burt has written me a good letter, but it contained no information

to have Burt wire me collect.

Again, with sincere thanks for taking time out from your busy life
to assist me in this way, I am

Sincerely yours,

Pater, 4 Die Purbre,
