Dear Doc:

; Was very happy to receive your letter and you know
I will get busy and try to get this job. I am writing Ryther

and telling him I will ap»reciate anything he can do for me,

and asking for any suggestions that he thinks might help me.

I will write Tom Sweeney of the Peovles State Bank
tomorrow, so you will have time to see him first. I think
Justice Walter Thiele would be kind enough to write. I will
also write Dr. Anderson. [I believe Dr. Esterly would dao me a
good turn so if you suggest, I will write him. #. GC. Quigley
once told me he would do all he could for me in writing a
recommendation. You will probably see him in the next day or
two, and if you think it advisable, let me know and I will write
him. I nave asked Gari O. Lincoln, former Bethany coach and
now City Clerk, to write me a recommendation, and I am sure he
will go tne limit.

We played Sterling tonight and got off on the right
foot -— 36 to ll — but of course they were not much power. I
have a couple of freshman that have possibilities of making
fair basketball players.

Don't worry about Man ot War not coming in first if
I can manaze to start him at the post.

Please let me know the references you think will do
me the most good.

Sincerely youns,
