Dear "Phog":

In keeping with your letter, I am sending one only No. BS4 King made
basket ball shirt, which I understend you are to submit to your equipment
man to see if you could use the three we have on hand here in Kansas City.

The other two I am retaining here in Kansas City are exactly like the one
I am shipping - they are all size 38 and all in as good condition as the
one I am sending.

I thought it advisable to hold the other two here so that if you could use
this one No. 5 garment which I am sending you, I could number the other two
with whatever numbers you might suggest. On second thought, you'll have

to return this one I am sending, too, in order to get a numeral put on the
back of it. All of this, of course, provided you can use the No. 5 garment
as a fill-in on your present outfit.

I hope that these three we have, which I am quoting $2.50 each on, will match
up with some one of your outfits so you can use them. I would appreciate it,
too, “Phog" if you will let me know immediately, because I am planning on
leaving here in about a week or ten days. I am going up North and do a little
fishing with Mr. D.K.C.

I'am wondering, too, if you would be interested in one only King made sport cook alyle
jacket, size 40, which is made of scarlet tackle twill and has the heavy
worsted rib trim at the neck, cuffs and bottom bands, with Royal blue and

white stripes in the center of these knitted parts.. This garment is lined

with white durene knit lining. It, too, is lettered "Kansas" across the front
just exactly the same as these basket ball shirts,i heve, but of course there
are no numbers on it. It is in first class condition, although just a tiny bit
soiled from having been used as a sample. It ordinarily sells to the schools
for $10.15 each, and if you are interested I will be happy to dispose of it to
you at $7.00. This is a real value if you could use it on any one of your team
members, or perhaps as a gift to some one of your sons,or anybody else that will
fit a size 40 garment. I'd be glad to send it to you on approval.

Incidentally, I am not charging this one jersey 1 am sending you - merely holding
a memorandum on it. .
