Dear Docs

I have been wenting to write to you for some time to tell you how
sorry I felt about the Wulfmeyer situation. I know that you did everything
possible and I did everything that I could. Perhaps you will be far better
off with=-out hime

I have been asked by one of our local high schools to present
basketball to the boys of thet high school. The principal isn't satisfied
with the coaching of his basketball team and wants to stimulate interest
in basketball. It is rather a touchy situation for me and so I want to
proceed cautiously.

I've hear a great deal about the basketball films that you have
made but haven't seen theme If they are anything like the demonstration
that you put on two years ago during the homecoming they are just what the
doctor ordered.

Would you be so kind as to tell me where I can get a copy of the
films and how much it will cost. If the film proves satisfactory for our
use I am certain that I can get the Board of Education to buy it.

I would like to obtain this film before the sixth of November.

The football situation hasn't been too bright this fall has it?
I suppose that there must be some consulation for you in that you cannot
be blamed for the results.

Thanking you in advance for the above information, I remain -

Most sincerely,
OPR: FS OTTO P. ROST,
Asst. Supv. Physical Education
