Dear Otto: \ ae

This 1 ledge rece of your wire last evening.
+ tmatig 4102 cctmowlodge receipt of your wire last ove
Walfemcyer is going: te Washington University.

Otte, regardless of whet Kanneth night Ht) yoo, I tery
definitely had taken care of regarding a job and all details
of his situation.’ All I can say, he just got homesick and then
e@libied to yous I have never been more specific and kindly to
@ boy, leaving nothing to his imagination. He is a fine boy,
and I liked his looks., I told him that I was going to put him
in the varsity room sc that he could deal with more meture
people. or ee en
this boy and put him in one of the best coaching jobs that
I could find for him.

Well, I am not sore but I am terribly dissappointed in
him, but whether he is the loser or net depends upon what he
will do at Washington. Personally, I plamed to put him in
ene of the best coaching jobs that I could locate for him, so
somehow I feel ee ee ee ee
something big. |

I want to thank you, Otto, for the kindness that you
showed in endeavoring to locate him at the University of Mangas.
You felt when I talked to you thet he rather sold you short.

So it is on your account that I feel badly, %o fer as I am con~
cerned I will not worry much about my material because somehow
we will get together five boys who will still wear Kansas on
their breasts and they will do pretty well, «I hope.

With all good wishes to you and your family, I am
Sincerely yours,

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