Dear Phog:

Thanks so much for your letter of January 28, with which
was enclosed copy of your letter to John Siesseger, Jr., Clear Leake,
Iowa. You certainly wrote a swell letter to Johnnie and I
am sure he will value it very highly.

Enelosed please find my check No. 689 on the First National
Bank of Mason City, Io wa, for $4.00 in payment of your new book
"Better Basketball". I went you to know that I am going to borrow
this book from Johnnie just es soon as he has a2 chance to look it over
as I am confident I will enjoy reading it from cover to cover.

Thanks again, Phog, for your kindness in carrying out my
suggestions in these several matters.

Very fraterneally yours,

Enel. rresi¢dena st
