Dear Fog,
Hear is a letter which ybu need not put
in your official files.

You have heard of Bill McKinley of Southwest H.S-.
and whom we are rushing. Bill they tell me is
a basket wall players There seems to be some
question about Bills finances and so we would like
to get him a job of some kind with the athletic
department. If I can give him me encouragement
in this respect think it will secure a good boy for
Phi Psi'ec It will also pull Bill Hogben whom you
have also probably heard of. These boys are very close
friends and will want to do the same thing.

Please let me know what can be done in this line’
I will be very careful not to quote you or make any
promises. I simply want to be able to tell these
poys what I think I can do for them with a réasonable
degree of certainty.

I just taled to Lawrence to get your address and was
advised that you would soon be going to Spirit Ike.
If you do this you will probably go through Mason City
Iowa where Charlie Strickland is and also my boy’. Be
sure to look them up. Charlie is Pres’. of the
Peoples Gas & Electric Coe there as well as several
other concerns and is quite the big shot.

Please let me hear from you.

Very truly yours,
