Hesston, Kansas May 1 , 1944 Dre Forrest C. Alien Department of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Sir: I received your letter and a copy of ''Jayhawk Rebounds''* last week. I am looking forward to future copies of ''Jayhawk Rebounds'', as I enjoyed reading the one you sent me very muche Last Friday I also received the basketball you sent me. I have an o1d basketball which I have been using in my spare time, although it is just about worn out. I certainly appreciate the good One. I am kept quite busy here on the farm. I am deffered until September, 1944 , although am not sure if I will be deffered after that date. I am looking forward to going to college after the war. I hope that will be in the near future. Thanking you again for your kindness. Sineerly yours, ohifer 4
