Dear Phog:

I was glad to receive your letter of February 27 and
incidentally I should have answered it sooner but I just got back to
the bank after two weeks in bed with the mumps. It was rather a
childish trick but that is exactly what happened. I got them from
my son who just went through it.

I am glad to have the information relative to
Max Kissell and I am today writing to J. E., his father at Portis.
J. E. was quite an athlete in his day and as I recall, he had quite
a basketball team in the years of 1911 to 1915 which he called the
Portis Dynamos. I am pleased to renew my acquaintance with you again
as I have been guite an admirer of your basketball teams through the
years and have had some very delightful evenings in the Coliseum
watching your clubs play. Noticed that you took « patched up team
to Omaha last night; had quite a game with Creighton University.

I would appreciate your droping in to see me when
you are in Lincoln as I would like to visit with you further.

Best wishes for your continued success and with
cordial regards, I am, |

Veryrtruly yours,

Gay

W. S. Battey a

Vice President
