Mr. Willian Richardson,
Shawnee-ilission Rural High Sehool,
Merriam, Kansas.

Dear Bill:

Henry Shenk, our varsity football coach, told me this wine
that he had a nice visit with you last Saturday and that you are ox-
pecting to enter the University of Kansas this fall. I am writing
to tell you that we are delighted to know that you are going to be
with US»

‘The fact that you are not to be called into service witil a
year from this August will give you one fine year of varsity oompeti-
tion in both football and basketball. And the added fact that you
heave been under an excellent coach who teaches excellent fundamentals

that fit into our system, should make it mich easier for you to
master our style of pley ina shorter time than if other systems
were used.

We welcome you to the University of Kansas, and if there is
anything that you want that we can help you with, please do not re-.
aa from asking. Of course, I expect to see you before you enter
the University and have a talk with you, but I am writing this letter
just to inform you that you will not be sorry that you have ohosen
your own State University. It has wany advantages and you will not

be long in finding that cut.

Please give my kindest regards to your good goach whom I eon-
sider one of the best in the country.

Sincerely your's ,

: Direotor of Physical Education, |
POA :AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
