Wichita, Kansas

Dear Carl,

I was shocked and grieved beyond measure to learn of the passing
of your lovely wife. Only those who have traveled the Golgotha
Road can appreciate what a shock it is to lose someone so dear to
youe

In 1925 we lest our oldest son, Forrest, Jre, and I assure you
that I know to what depths your sorrow reaches.

There is only one thing to do, Carl, and that is to keep busy.
Time is the eraser of all sorrow, but time will fly faster when
you work incessantly. Words ars so inadequate at a time like this,
but I believe if you could get a coaching job and put your all -
into that work that it would be the very best thing under the con-
ditions.

We regret that we are not going to have you back with us this fall.
We were counting so much on it. However, if at any time there is
anything we can do to help you in any way, please command us.

With a deep and sincere understanding I am

Sincerely yours,

 

Director of Physical Education and Recreation
FCA/pg Varsity Basketball Coach
