My,' Harold Read,

_ Coach,

Shawnee~Mission High School,
 *Shameo-HMission, Kansas.

Dear Harold:

I have been intending to write you upon several
occasions; first, upon your winning the district tourna-
ment at Lawrence, then the regional at Topeka, and then
upon winning the real McCoy at Salina. You certainly
took it out on Kansas City, Kansas (Wyandotte), did you
not? My, you are rough on those big city boys?

You must have had a great team and I wish that
you would extend my congratulations to one and all of
your fine championship outfit.

Ho, I an not trying to proselyte any of your fine
players, but I just wanted you to know that I do appres-
date what a difficult task it is for a fellow to take a
bunch of high school boys and go through to such a splendid

record as you have done. Again, congratulations!
‘With best wishes to you, I am

Senciandiy yours,

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