Mr. Bob Meredith,
429 Elm Street,
Washington, Moe

Dear Bobs

Your very good letter of the 24th instant just
arrived at my desk this morning upon my return from a week
at the Iowa High School Coaches Association coaching school
where Clark Shaughnessy of Stenford, Bernie Bierman of Minne-
sota, Henry Iba and I were on the teaching faculty.

It pleases me to kmow that you have made such de-
finite progress toward a fine career for the future. It is a
great pleasure to work with a young man of your ability and
vision. I told Mrs. Hulteen this morning that it gave me more
pleasure to have contacts with a fine young man such as you are
then the contacts that I often make with some of my athletes
who feel that they need just a little more wet-nursing.

As i told you last spring, you earned your money and
you were very dependable. It is a pleasure to have people like

you around our organisation. We certainly shall try to have
a@ position for you when you return the second semester. The work
that you are doing is a fine experience for you and when you re-
turn to school you will even do better than you have done in the
past. And I recognize that your past work has been a source of
pride to you and, I am sure, a pleasure to your instructors.

With all good wishes for your continued success and
happiness, I am

Sincerely yours,

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