Kansas City, Mo.

Dear Miss Buckley:

While I was with our basketball team playing in Buffalo,
New York, Philadelphia end St. Louis, my very dear friend,
your brother, passed away. Vihen I returned to Lawrence I
received a letter from Keedy Campbell, one of Joe's staunch
admirers and personal friends, telling me of Joe's passing.

There is nothing that we mortals can say that will assuage
your feelings. All of us have traveled that Golgotha Road,
and about all we can say is that we too widerstand. —

I want you to know that Joe Buckley was one of my very
fine. friends and I admired him greatly. He not only had a
genial personality, but he had a sapacity for love and
friendship that few men possess. His ready Irish wit was
one of his fortunes. I played with Joe in 1904 and 1905,
and through all the years after that Joe Buckley to me was
_ tops. I desire to express my sincerest sympathy.

Very sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
Varsity Basketball Coache
