December 14, 1945. ir. Jack Rader, Howerd, Kangas. Dear Jack: Your sister, Virginia, came in yesterday morning and — wanted to know if we had any shoes size 8. We do not even have that size for our varsity players. However, I have a pair dom at the house that has been used, and I am not sure what size they are, but you could try these on and if you could get a pair o half-soles and fit them in the shoes you might be able to wear theme ; They are not making the canvas uppers with rubber soles any more until the war tekes a different turn. It is absolutely impossible for us to buy any'of these shoes, but you can try these on and if you can use them you may have them for $5.00. Otherwise, you can mail them back and we will save them for some other boy whose feet they will fit. Please do not feel under any obligation, but it is the only pair that I can find that is anywhere near your size. They are not University property and I em glad to send them to you on trial as a courtesy if you can use them; otherwise, mail them back to me at 80] Louisiana Street, Lawrence, Kansas. : Sincerely yours, - Director of Physical Edueation, PCA :AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
