Dear Dr. &llen,

The editors of the Christian Herald have accepted for December or

 

January printing a little piece of mine,written from the standpoint of a
former student of Dr. Naismith,and Hatied "Father of Basketball." Since
K.U. comes in for a share of publicity I have already written Mr. Ellsworth
for some photos suitable for publication. You too are cited in this

article for yourwork with the inventor of basketball and your outstanding
contributions to the game. Do you ders © jastcs that might be used also?

I should do all in my power to see that any pictures entrusted to me by
yourself or by the Alumni Office be well taken care of and promptly returned.
I should like it better if copies could be obtained so that there would no

chance of loss of the originals.

Sincerely yours,

M. Whitcomb Hess(1926)
