| Dear Dre Peete:

It was a great pleasure to have a visit with you
last saturday. After you left it occurred to me that
I might tell you of the interest Mr. Neal Wherry, the
principal of the Lawrence High School, showed in
Howards *s possibilities sumer before laste

We used Howard a great deal that sumer on our
Sumer Sehool playground and he did such outstanding
work that Principal Wherry commented to me about hime
I told Howard then that Mre Wherry was interested in
him for the future, and I am again calling it to his
attention in an effort to further build up his morale.
I want him to see that it is desirable for him to
measure up to the high expectations of people in the
commmity and the school officials.

Again thanking you for your kindmesses, and with
best wishes, I an

®

Very sincerely yours,
