Mr. Walker Battey, Vice President,
Continental National Bank of Linooln,
Linsoln, Nebraska.

Dear Walker:

Thank you very much for your very fine letter of
the 16th instant. I assure you I appreciate your kind words.

Yos, Max Kissell is a son of J. E, Kissell, the
editor of the Portis, Kensas, Independent. I imow the old
gentleman would be happy to have a line from you concerning
Max. Mle played c ice game hare againat Nebraska fuosday
night as he did at Lincoln,

Wo had very little hope of winning the game last
night due to the fact that the brase-collar, Col. Briggs, at
Omaha, refused to let Charlie Black play basketball although
the medical doctors had certified him as being physically able
to play. However, Col, Briggs is afraid of public opinion.
fhe only possible conclusion would be that we were in collusion
with tue medical doctors to preserve him for basketball.

and I thought we had soldiers in the Army < not
politicians?
