CARLETON COLLEGE NORTHFIELD, MINNESOTA INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS M.J. DIEBOLD, piREcTOR Pine River ,Minnesota duly 1,1939. Dear Doc: No doubt that this letter is only one of many which you have recéived regarding the same request. I have made an expression of interest in the basketball position at Kansas State and gave you as the only reference,because you are familiar both with my qualifications and the situation at Kansas State. In,fact, this is the first position I have applied for since being at Carleton,but my friends have advised me that if a person has an offerefor another position,he then has an opportunity t o bargain at home, Whatever you feel justified to do on my behalf will indeed be appreciatedand in the meantime,best wishes for a most pleasant summer, I have been advised that Mr.Ahearn will not be in his office until after July 10. Sincerely, CM beak Lecle4
