Dear Dr. Allen: Thank you most sincerely for your letter which has made it possible for me to tell Harold Wright that he should go on down there and enroll for school. Harold was in my office this morning, telling me that he had also heard from you, and feeling very happy over the fact that it was now beginning to seem possi- ble for him to attend K. U. He told me that he had a couple other offers from other schools so that he could attend there if he didn't make the grade at K. U. but that he had entertained the ambition of attending Kansas University and playing basketball under "Phog Allen ewer since he was in the grade school and that he would certainly be disappointed if he didn't realize _this ambition. Psychologically, Harold is quite an "tntrovert" but he really displayed his satisfaction from your letter. I must apologize for the typographical error in my previous letter and for its being ambiguous in meaning. I had referrence to the Gibbens boy, and I didn't mean that you, personally, had given him any work. I meant that I understood, from quite reliable sources, that he had obtained considerable work in Lawrence because of his athletic abilities. Harold plans on coming down before time for registration to get lined out on his work. He will write you as to when he plans to come down and will come to your office as he also wishes to discu&s his enrollment with you. le is somewhat uncertain as to whether he wishes to take up engineering or to prepare himself for physical education and coaching. Thanking you again for your time and the work you've done for this boy, I am PeLsnt "Rurel Hieh School Dwight, Kansas. : sept. Y,ivev Dwight, Kanses Dr, Fy. €.
