Esteemed sir:

__ For some time I have been trying to
obtain your new book "BETTER BASKETBALL" and at the time that
I had written a letter asking you for it directly, I received

it-through the same Importing house that placed in my hands
"WY BASKETBALL SIBLE" several years ago.

et thet The presentawould no longer have any
objec that I am justified by my sincere desire to have you
receive my modest expression of felicitation for such generous
Contributions to the progress of basketball aaja—j—_mieee-
for which I must thank you personally. Besides this, I wish
to express my desire to receive the catalogue "Goal-Hi", which
I trust will have a good reception in this city.

 

ee : I do not believe it out of order to add,
in order to present myself, that in this Capital I discharge

the role of basketball critic, and have done so for fifteen

years (at th@$time I am connected with "El Diario"{ I started

as "coach" in 1935 and since 1937 I have on various occasions
treve selected the Uruguayan Basketball teams, including the

time when they beat the North#merican team which visited us
lately, and whsnrecently (January of 1940) Uruguay wase undeféateéd
in the Southg#merican Basketball Championship, winning over the

teams from the Argentine, Bragil, Chile, Paraguay and Peru.

Repeating my expressions of thanks
and my most sincere congratulations, and hoping to receive an

answer from you, I remain
3 Respectfully yours,
