I acknowledge with thanks your good letter of November 28.

I assure you that I will not stand in the way of any memorial
that Springfield is intending to build in honor of Dr. Naismith,
nor will I write a word against it. ae

However, you can understand, in view of his expressed wish to
me that the memorial be placed at the University of Kansas, ny
feeling in the matter. Hee

Sincerely yours, —
