I am happy to respond to your urgent request. This is no
criticism of you, Bill, but I suggest that you not wait so
long toe ask for things of this nature in that it is necessary
to send them by air mail. Doubtless you have been dow there
quite a little while, and possibly had you taken care of this
earlier the necessity for the rush would not have been so urgent.

You understand that I am glad to do this for you, but there are
101 things on my desk requiring attention. Since you are in the
service of our country and in a position to deal Japan and Ger-
many a lot of grief, in the spirit of patriotic cooperation I an
putting your request as a No. 1 duty and am taking care of this
matter. I wish you success, health, end happiness, Bill.

Sincerely,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation
