Dr. F. C. Allen,
Director of Athletics,
Kansas University,
Lawrence, Kansas.

My dear Dr. Allen:

It is with the deepest regret that
I have learned of the passing of Dr. Naismith.
If it is at all feasible, I would appreciate
it tremendously if you would express my sympathy
to the surviving members of his family. It
goes without saying that his loss will be deeply
mourned by all who have had any connection with
the fine game which he devised.

With kindest personal regards to your
good self, I remain

Sincerely,

Voi
