Mre I. Je Meade,
Lawrence National Bank,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear I. Je:

I regret exceedingly that I will be out of town next
Monday. I am working in the school of coaching with the Iowa
High School Athletic Association where a group of us basketball
end football coaches are teaching the youth of Iowa theoretically,
at least, how to do the job. 7

I am very anxious to hear your portrayal of some of
the indidents back in Davies County when my grandfather and you
worked together. I have often wanted to sit Wown and have you
tell me some of those anecdotes and some of the high lights of
your early boyhood, and to learn more regarding my grandfather.
He was always a hale fellow well-met when he came down to visit
us, and of course it is human nature to learn more of those
that have gone before, especially if they happen to be our for-
bears.

I am asking you to kindly save your manuscript so that
I can read it upon my return home. After you have finished with
it if you will kindly mail it to my office in Robinson Gymasium
here at the University I will appreciate it. Or I could stop
the bank and pick it up when I return to Lawrence.

With appreciation and best wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,

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