Dear Gene:

Thanks for your letter of June 1 regarding my golf
bage There is a lot of sentiment connected with this bag, since it was
presented to me full of Kenneth Smith clubs and irons, The citizens
and friends of mine of the community gave it to me when we defeated the
University of Southern California in March,. 1941, for the Western Con-
ference Championship. Therefore, I do want it repaired and, if nothing
‘else, just have the bottom of it stitched so that I can use it. They
can let all the rest of it go and ship it back to me, but it will take
some sort of a stitching-device that I thought they would surely have,
because since they made it and stitched it once, it seemed to me that they
could stitch it again for me as there are no parts missing.

Gene, it seems to me it took them a long time to dis-
cover that they could not repair it, because your Kansas City letter was
dated May 2 and they felt "that they should write immediately concerning

Yes, I want it fixed, Gene, and just the bottom of it,
and then they ‘can a it back to me the way it is and I will still like it.
