Albuquerque, New Mexico May 9, 1943 Physical Education Office Rebinson Gymnasium University of Kansas Dear Sirs: Previous to March 11, 1943 I was enrolled in an 8:30 MWF physical conditioning class. On March 1] I was ordered to active duty on such short notice that I had no time to withdraw my gym ecuipment from the check room in the basement of Robinson. Later at my request a friend attempted to get my gym equipment for me--he was to!d by the check room clerk that they didn't have it. My towel ticket number was 448; I do not re- call my basket number but I feel certain you haveiit on your records.. T had only a pair of white shorts, a supporter. and a pair of new black tennis shoes. I don't cane about the first two articles but I need the tennis shoes and as it is impossible to ebtain such shess here I should appreciate it very much if you wouid have the check room attempt to locate the shoes. : If it is at all possible drop me a card about this before school closes so I can have a friend call at the office in case the shoes are found. Yours ee. Ft wail, Bobs Pvt. Wm. R. Blake Section 7 | A.-A.?. Met. Tng.Det. 11 University of New Mexico Albuquerque, N. Mex.
