UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION August 25, 1944, Coach Edwin Barbour, Reinbeck, Iowa. Dear Coach Barbour: I have just returned after a very pleasant visit with you and your fellow coaches at Boone, Iowa. I acknowledge receipt of your payment of $4.00 for my text, "Better Basket- ball". I am writing you now to be very certain of the spelling of your name and address. The reason I am doing this is that a letter will be re- turned to me, whereas if I should autograph a book it might lie in the postoffice uncalled for, for quite some time. I can be more accurate with a letter. I would like to know if you would like any special auto- graph, such as “remembering the pleasantries of the Iowa High School Athletic Association Coaching School at Boone, Iowa, on August 15-19", and so forth. Or would you want me to autograph it to the school, or what? If you have any special preference, let me know. If not, I will just make a short introduction with the autograph. If you have any special feature I will be glad to follow that. If you do not want to write a letter just put a footnote at the end of this letter and mail it to me, and if I do not hear from you in a week I will autograph the book with my own introduction and mail the same to you. Again remembering with very great pleasure our fine assoc- > iation, and wishing you success for the coming year, I am Very sincérely yours, Physical Educa von, ae oe Av Mor . “Varsity — Coach 2 wr abd ahd ar abught, Loicent Clune Sarto! he bork Vet” / Van
