Lincoln, Kanses September 1, 1940 Dr. F. C. Allen Director of Physical Education & Recreation Varsity Basketball Coach Depertment of Physical Education Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I was very pleased to receive your letter and a copy of the basketball schedule for Kansas for the year 1940-41. Most of my summer has been spent on the farm doing physical labor, which should stimulate my mental ability this coming winter. I am rather anxious for school to begin again because I believe I can do bigger and better things this year. I wish to thank you again for the many things you have done for mee I am especially indebted to you for, without the employment you have given me, it would be impossible for me to attend _ school this year. Sincerely yours,
