Lt. ©. G. Gibbens, .

Your letter had no sooner landed on my desk than I began to
land on some people regarding your record. I called Miss Seaman and
said that she tried to tell you in her best way that Mr. Wiley did
not have anybody to play. She meant of the proper caliber to make re-
cords. ‘The war has just things terribly, but she said she
would be glad to cooperate if lr. Wiley would furnish the erchastentions
and

 

She said all of her records were completely worn out and they
could not make transcriptions from old, worn out records. But she did

that she had told you that Mr. Ellsworth also had some. So
the quickest source of available material was in Mr. Ellsworth's poss-
ession, I thought, so I imnediately called him and read him a part of

your letter. I then went into a strong argument why these loyal Jayhawkers

ee ee ee Pred promised me that he would

Juyhank service hot or cold, and we are hoping that 4¢ will be good. So
you will have something real soon.

We are leaving in about an hour for Columbia, Missouri, to play
the Tigers dow there and I am afraid that our boys are rather youthful
for those bloodthirsty Tigers to battle around on their miniature field
of carnage. Anyhow, we will fight tem, Gibby.

When I return I will get in touch with Mr. Wiley and see if we
@an't make some new records out of something I know he can resurrect,
and we will see that you get some. I enjoyed your fine letter and want
you to know that any time you write me we will be responsive imnediately
to your desires.

With all good wishes to you and Mrs. Gibbens, as well as wishing
Captain Lawrence Berner the best of success, I am

Sincerely yours,

Direstor of Fhysieal Bdveation,
FOA:AH Varaity Bas Coach.
