My dear Phog;

I was very glad to get your letter of July 28th, and
delay in answering was due to the boy being out of tom. However,
he is "tickled to death" with the prospect, and it is his hope end
ambition that arrangements can be made for him to enter the
Kansas University. :

He has @ brother who weighs approximately 235 lbs, about
6 ft 2 inches in height who played 2 years foot balliin Junior
College and 2 years in High School who has been in correspondence
with some of the Athletic people, and later on, his father with the
two boys and possibly myself, are coming over, and if possible
would like to meet you at your office, i want them to see where I
got my teeth knocked out with a rope in the Gymasiunm,

I know you are going to be delighted with the prospects
of this boy, and I know he is going to develop into one of your
great players, to be the nucleus around 4 great team.

Mour kind offer was certainly appreciated by my Boss, Mr,

Steve Meade,who expressed his deep appreciation, and I think, without

@ doubt every effort will be made for the boy to go to your great

ROUTE OF THE “ROCKETS”
THE “GOLDEN STATE LIMITED" TO CALIFORNIA
“ROCKY MOUNTAIN LIMITED" TO COLORADO

University.

Please accept my thanks for the many nice things,
and the many nice trips I enjoyed at your hands, also express

Mrs, Allen and the boy my @ppreciation of the many kindnesses

shown me,

With kindest personal regards, I am

Very sincerely yours,

Dear Dr. Allen:

I wrote to Mr. Woodward and Dr. Nelson at Salina about
the Junior High School coaching job. I received two very
nice letters in return and it sure looks encouraging. I am
enclosing the letters they sent me so that you might read
them. I really think I have a fine chance to get the job.

Do you think there is anything I might do now to help
out? I certainly hope I can get the job. I thought I had
better let you know how I stand up there in case there is
anything you can do.

Well, I am still harvesting and I hope to finish this
week. This harvesting is sure making a man of me. I have
been gaining weight like everything.

I had better close now and hope to hear from you in the
near future. I remain as ever==~ —

Yours very truly, ,

Mr. Raymond Swanson,
Randolph, Kansas.

Dear Mr. Swanson:

I have your letter of July 6 with reference
to your application for Junior High School Coach. I have con-
sulted Mr. Hawks, the Superintendent, with reference to this
matter and know that he has your application on file and has it
under consideration.

I, of course, was able to tell him that,
while I did not know you, Dr. Allen must feel rather highly in
your regard or he would not have suggested that you write to me,
because I am not even a member of the school board here.

There are a number of very fine applications
and yours among them is to be considered. Those who seem to be
the best qualified will be asked to come in for an interview,
and I, therefore, can give you that information, that if you
receive a request to come in for an interview, you will know
that you are on the favorable list, and I should be glad to
meet you if it transpired that you were invited to come.

Hoping that you will receive the appointment
and hoping also that your success will be paramount in that
position, providing you are selected, and with kind regards, I
am,

Sincerekyryours,

  

Laurence S. Nelson,’ M. D.
