We could play with a reciprocal guarentee and an option of 50;%.
I believe it would be good for basketball all over the courtry

and I lmow we would be happy if you can see fit to meet us at
Bloomington and in Lawrence, Kansase

We could play you before the Christmas holidays here

@ good thing for the sporte

With all good wishes, and again congratulating you,
