Dre Fe Co Allen, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Docs Harry Je Foresman was coming up to see you Sunday but I discovered that you would not be there until Sunday evening so I presume he has put his trip off. He has been working for me all summer in the capacity of helping our driller and should be in first-class condition. He is definitely anxious to start to school and barring mishaps should go along in about the fashion that an ordinary normal freshman does. This chap is a first-class lad and I recommend him to you unre- servedly. He is not a first-class student but I think has enough perseverance and intelligence to make an average record in school. He has got a lot of courage, persistence and a down-right constructive desire to get an education. On top of this I think he will make a basketball player and I believe he is a competitor,every inch of him. Just how much work he will be able to handle on the outside is conjectural - time alone will tell. He has a pretty fair nest egg to start with and with a little help on the side should make it nicely. I shall consider it an extreme favor if you will help this fellow out as far as you conveniently can. I hope you have had a pleasant summer, remunerative as well as pleasurable. I shall likely see you before this fall beoomes very olde With warmest personal regards, I am Sincerely, GEN : OM September 17, 1940 I am enclosing a plat of the stadium so you can see where you, lirse Nelson and Webe are locateds My kindest regards to you and all the familys Sincerely yours, Direetor of Physical Education and Recreation Varsity Basketball Coach FOAsig “Oobober 15, 1940 cna We bik G3E tlie tor pen tee SE Se sae Sceshote . recoverye Darl says sonething about the spinous process of your vertebrate being brokenme I hope that the break is incone sequential so far as your locomotion is concerned.
