Dear Sirs

Wish to acknowledge receipt of your recent wire. You said
answer by Western Union, but did not say wire collect, therefore
I did not feel able financially to do it at my own expenses

I was unable to report for class Friday as you suggestede

Since my salary there has been reduced materially, I thought
maybe you might be willing to carry me on the pay roll during

the coming school years. I think there are a few that have been.
carried on the pay roll one way or the others If a deal of this
nature can be arranged, it would be a great help to me in getting
adjusted elsewhere.

Before I resign formally, there is a matter I would like to
have brought to the attention of the University. I came to
Kansas University in the fall of 1925 at a salary of $2200 for
twelve months, The fiseal year on the contract reads from
September 1925.. July Ist 1926 the contract was changed to
read fiscal year from duly lst.

This case carries the same status as that of Cappon, Steele,

Lockabaugh and Sabe, According to my addition I have $366.66
due me from the University of Kansas. What do you intend to

do about it?

Very truly yours,
