bear Colleague: ,

With arising costs of materials and labor our budget is facing
heavy strain. It is our hope to tring back to normalcy, as soon as
possible, the worn out equipment and to furnish balls, bats,, and other
play equipment for spring intramurals to the best of our ability.
However, I am wondering if we could not economize somewhat by making
our balls go as far as possible with the view of cutting down somewhat
the leather goods bill for balls in the future,

I am sure that you are doing everything possible but I thought
this friendly letter to you asking for the fullest cooperation in the
face of tightened budget would get the job done. Any suggestion that you
may have toward improving this condition and allowing fullest play oppore
tunities for all of our veterans wili be appreciated.

Iam sure you will take this in the spirit in which it is
intended, but do not fail to understand that I have already appreciated
your fine spirit of cooperation in every waye

Sincerely yours,

a
