Dear Dicks

After I had returned with the basketball team from Buffalo,
New York, Philadelphia and St. Louis, I came back to my desk ‘
to open my Christmas mail. I found and

beautiful Christmas greeting for the holiday season. And

me very happy and proud - happy that you hed sent me a check
in part payment for the loan that I advanced you to permit

you to continue your college education.

I am proud of the fact that although you were not blessed
with toc mich of the world's goods at present and doubtless
burdened by sickness and other debts, you apportioned your
earnings to enable you to make a payment on thet debt. I
sincerely thank you for the check and I hope that you have
a very happy New Year and a successful and prosperous one.

Our best wishes to your good family.

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
PCA: AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
