Mr. Howard H. Smith,

Dear Superintendent Smith:

I em very happy to have your letter of August 21,
ordering a copy of my text, "Better Badketball". The
price of the book is $4.00, and you may send me your
check or money order for this amount.

I would like to know if you would like any special
autograph, 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 mow. If not, I
will just make a short introduction with the autograph.
If you have any special feature I will be glad to follow
thet. If you do not want to write a letter just put a
footnote at the end of this letter and mail it to me.

Again remembering with very great pleasure our fine

associations, and wishing you success for the coming year,
I am

Very 8 incerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
FCA: AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
