A note te Clint Kanaga: Clint, I havo not forgotten tho matter of
the gold basketball for T. P. Hunter. Immediately upon receipt of yeur letter
I went to Julius Marks and told him te look up his past recerd and check to
see if T. Pe's gold baske*ball wasn't mailed to his mother at Margaret, Toxas,
or to his sister in Tulsa, and Julius promised me that he would let me know.

I am sure that it was ordered. When I started to dictate this letter to you
I ealled Julius again and he is going over his books and checking the mailing
because he has a record of every address. You tell T. P. we are going te get
that gold basketball fer him and have it in his possession. He doserves a
thousand ef them, and we certainly aren't going to delay. I want to say here
“and now that hod I dreamed that T. P. didn't have his ball I would have
aotivated myself no ond. T. P. is "Noe 1" in my own mind, and, I might add,
in everyone's.

Mrs. Allen and I had your brother, Bill, to dinner the other night.

Faculty members, townspeople and oldsters sat on the benches and chairs ond
