Dear Deotor Marvins

Dean Nesmith called me and told me that he had a letter
fice thin ietding tek yoo wane 40 in ths Sane You know, this
is a shoak to mo, Doster, as I never had an inkling of your Alinesss

Some time efter Christmas I sent you ny | book, “Better
Basketball", which I had hoped to send you for a Christmas presente
I was not in town when the athletic board met, so I did mot see you,
but just presumed you had received the book which had been sent to
you in Topela. i did not expect an acknowledguent, knowing how busy
yOu wares

 

But this matter of having you out of Topeka end knowing
that you are ill disturbs mes You lmow, there isn*t a darn thing a
fellow can say when a man gets sick, except thet he is darn sorry
end you hope he will get well scone I have always been very fond of
you although I have never expressed myself along those lines only by
showing you. that I had a high regard for yous ee
that was the better waye

Won" you write me a letter and ct me know how you are -
getting along, aud if there is anything at all I can do to make your
time pass more pleasantly while you are under inspection it will be
a pleasure for mo to do it, if you will oniy so indicate, _

My kindest regards and sincerest wishes tc yous
