April 3, 1943.

Dr. We We Parker, President,
Southeast Missouri Teachers College,
Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

Dear Friend Walter:

fhis congratulatory note is very much belated, but none
the less genuine. I saw your fine Cape team defeat Vary
for the National Intercollegiate finals and I thought the
next day that I would send you a wire congratulating you
and the school on your fine achievement. But you know how
the pressure of administration is. Something crowds it
out, and that is the case with me and your congratulatory
note.

With the big league ball club in your environment and
a National Intercollegiate championship basketball tean,
old Cape Girardeau, under the efficient leadership of
W. W. P., is tops.

viliceiin: umes wr sends alt sedetNA tl aii eae
and to your fine tean. il in cena dl
very fine family.

With all good wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,

| Director of Physical Education, —
FCALAH Varsity Basketball Coach.
