Dear Pheedore:

Colonel Watson McMorris told me about your good letter to him
. and what you had to say regarding the possibility of your returning
to K.U. after the war. I want you to know that you would not only
be welcome, but you would be thrice welcome.

Personally, I think you are one of the best basketball players
that I have seen, and if I have been able to size up a fellow properly
I think you can carry your honors very modestly. You are not an indiv-
idual player, but a team player. When this war is over and if you would
like to enroll et K.U. I want you to know that we would be. mighty happy
to have you here, and if you need any work to help along I am very sure
that we can seowre that for you.

2 am sending you our last Jayhawk Rebounds and will put you on the
mailing list so that you can learn something about the Kansas basketeers
of earlier years. Of course I do not write the letter just for basket-
ball players, but we used a basketball term for the title of the commmn-
ication. But we send it to all the boys, and many boys who have uever
played basketball; in fact, many who have never been in athletics.

_ Please write me from time to time and let me know how you are _
getting along, and we will say something about you and what you are
doing in our Rebounds. Tho one I am enclosing is rather an old one,
but I presume that you have not seen it.

With all good wishes to you, and with kindest personal regards,
I am |

Very sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
Varsity Besketball Coach. ae
