Dear Doe:

Just thought I would drop you a line to find out if
you could recommend a man to fill my position here in Harlingen.

The Superintendent of Schools, Mr. E. C. Deering, esked me
yesterday to write you and find out if you could supply him with
another Kansas Jayhawker.

He would like to have a man that had 18 hours in Methematics,
or a minor, as he would teach mostly Com. Arithmetic and Algebra
as I have done. His job would be to assist in football, head
coach in basket ball, head track coach with special emphasis on
basket ball. He would teach five classes a day with one off
period. :

They have a new field house just completed last sunmer that
has a 86' X 50* playing court, six baskets and seats arcund 2000.
He would have a pretty fair team returning next year with five
lettermen back. We won the conference championship again this
last year.

I have fesigned my position here after four years so that I
can go to school again and get a masters degree.

Doc. I am wondering if I might use your name as a reference
in case I need it?

Hoping to hear from you again, I am,

Respectfully

Gordon Gray
