Washburn Municipal Aniversity of Topeka, Kansas February 7, 1944 Dr. Forrest Allen Director of Physical Education Kansas University Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dre Allen: We left your place in a big hurry last Wednesday night in order to get our squad back to their barracks by ten o'clock. I wonder by any chance if we left a couple of basketballs. If a couple of balls are found among your property, each bearing a red W, they probably belong to Washburn. If such is the case, would appreciate your taking care of them until we can pick them up. Thanking you for your trouble, I am, Very truly yours, is IJB: FW
