My dear Phog:

Thank you so much for showing me the correspondence with Mr.
Browne. It is very interesting.

I have sometimes thought that you and I had much in common,

for both of us find ourselves so frequently trying to buck

the crowd and its accepted practices. Sometimes I get very
tired of what seems to be the everyday fight to maintain decent
standards. Sometimes I feel like turning the responsibility
over to others, telling myself that I have done my share of
it,and now it is someone else's turn to carry on; and then I
realize that that would be cowardly and that I could do it only
by forfeiting my self-respect.

I hope you will continue to stand for the things in athletics
for which you have always stood. Good luck to youl
Sincerely yours,

<3
