Dear Phog:

I was happy to get your wire and will certainly
present your name overseas to help us carry out our

intensive basketball coaching course after V-Day.

You understand that the chances of your going
over depend entirely on the wishes of the commanding
general, but names such as yours are bound to help
sacure the program and I know you would make a real |
contribution to the war.

Please keep the matter confidential until you
hear further from us.

Sincerely yours,

Y We RK,
Lt. Col., G. S. Ce,
Chief, Athletic Branch.
