Dear Johns

But I did make the statement that your
classes as you had done would jeopardize your chances to make the
best grades in the subjects you were best fitted for, and if such a
thing should happen that you would be i212 then those classes would
suffer, and in addition the ones that you were low in would cause
you to fil, .

As it is now, I do not kmow whet you can salvage out of
your days of inertia and lassitudes The fact that you have utterly
a the kindnesses of your friends ‘and people who care
me wonder just what sort of appreciation you haves

1 have written to John Glem and told him of my ¢
with yous I have also told him how all of us have endeavored to help
you but how on the other hand you rejected those offers of help in sueh
a& way that your actions have caused resentment among the boys on the
team, and others who are associated with youe So impervious were you to

| the point to be dumb enough to
send for your pipes This act shows a preneditated disregard for the
things that should appeal to yous

The fact that your team mates want te win should at least
stimlate your common decency to the point that you would not discourage
their effortse I just wonder, John, what really is in your makeup that
would cause you to turn down so many of your friends. |

I told you that I dictated a letter to you before we left
on Squere Garden and my secretary mailed to the wrong street
ere in Iawrence ahd it was returneds The letter that I wrote
then, which wes before Christmas, was similar in tone to this letters |
Ide not believe you ean make a fellow believe that you care very much
for the better things of life or for an opportunity tc be somebodys At
least by your actions you have not convinced anybody of that facte

: I wish you good luck in your examinations, but I have always
learned that aifellow has to have more than luck when he goes into his
examinationse

Sincerely yours,
