Mr. Chester Gibbens,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Chet:

ii itn wane tex ena caanlid aay a Gk: an
written by President Kenneth “Boots” Adems, of the Phillips
Petroleum Company. Will you kindly contact Mr. Leo Barry,
the division manager of the Phillips Company, at Kansas City
at your convenience?

I am also sending a copy of the letter from Paul
Endacott, assistant to the president. Paul was captain of
my ever-victorious basketball team in 1925. So you see we
have the attention of the big boys directed toward yous I
believe if you will follow this lead up at once that before

long you will get something worth while.

, By the way, Gibby, you told me about Mr. Dell David-
son giving you a quarter for drinks. Well, there is rather .
an interesting story in this connection. After you had left
I put on my golf clothes and played a round and shot a pretty
good score. ‘Then I started in to dress and someone else
wanted to play a few more holes, so I played three or four
holes, and as I came up on No. 9 green the second time I
glanced down and lo and behold, here was that quarter of
yours! You will remember that you and I were standing near
the green. Well, apparently you lost it just at that spot.
de fan vabesaiag 20 80 you vate thin inthe, euctlant teat
you will spend this for drinks before you let it slip through

another hole in your pocket.

I want to take this means of thanking you for the fine
honest service that you rendered this summer, © You were very
dependable and trustworthy. When you find a fellow like that
you appreciate it, although you realize that sort of service
‘should be performed when an individual is being paid for it.
But it so seldom is. And you being an exception, I want to
commend yous

With all good wishes, I am
Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation,
FCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
