Mr. Harold A. Burt,
649 Rateliff,
Shreveport, La.

Dear Harold:

I was. delighted to hear from you. I will bet Duke mekes a fine
record at Sewanee. He is a grand-looking boy, and I want you to know
' we will be delighted to have him here with us next year. I don't bee
lieve you will have any difficulty with the boy on his football or
his studies. Frankly, I believe he is a chip off the old block, and
I know that you never let your athletics overbalance your endeavors
in the classrcom.

_ It 4s very nice of you to say the things that you did and I assure
you that I enjoyed the visit with you and Mrs. Burt, as well as your
two wonderful sons. Please remember me most kindly to all of then.

Yes, I knew the Jayhawk Rebounds would be too recent for your ac~-
quaintanceship, but through the years once in a while we will bring
back one of the old-timers that you will remember. Henry Shenk said to
me that he was a freshman when you were a star on the team and how well
he remembered your driving smashes through the line.

Kansas really played 1.C.U. a wonderful game. The morale is very
high over the campus and over the state as a result of Kansas fine show=
ing |

We certainly hope that Duke will be with us next fall and that he
will be the magnet that will draw you and Mre. Burt back to the campus
often. ;

With all good wishes, I an

Very sincerely yours,

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