Capt. H. L. Kirkpatrick, M. C.,
Station Hospital, |
Familton Pield, California.

Dear Dr. Kirkpatrick:

I was mighty happy to have your letter saying that you enjoyed
the Rebounds. I wish you might have been here to see some of our -
basketball games. The kids are not terribly hot, but we have been
able to limp along to a near tie. If Kansas State beats Iowa State
tonight at Manhattan, we will get at least a tie for it, but if —
Louie Menze's boys beat the Aggie cousins I am afraid we will be in
for a tough time at Ames on Priday night, Maroh 2nd.

They are liable to lick us up there because we do not have a
finished ball club, and Iowa State is tougher than a cowpuncher's
boot, on their own floor.

We are making the change of your address to Station Hospital,
Hamilton Field, California. I am hoping to write another Rebounds
this week so you should have it before too long.

It is always good to hear, from you, and I assure you that we
will be looking forward to the time when you are back with us.

With all good wishes, I am

e

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
PCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
