Mr. Harold England,
Halstead, Kansas.

Dear Harold:

May I take this means of congratulating you and
your fine team for the exceptional showing that you have made this
year. Last year was a wonderful record, but you seem to be moving
right along to another state title, we hope.

I want you to know that I have not in the slightest
lost my enthusiasm for your attending the University of Kansas next
year. I expect to be at Emporia on my way back from Denver next
week. I hope to see you again, and see your team play. If anything
shantld happen to prevent my secing you at Ruperia, T will arrange to
ene Halstead goon after the tournament is over.

' ‘I have a great many speaking dates over the state
where I speak to basketball banquet groups. However, I will make
it e point to see you and any of the boys from Halstead who are

‘interested in coming to the University. |

We can arrange work for you so that it will be possible
for you to work your way through the University. I just want to con-
gratulate you and let you kmow that I am still thinking of the fine
visit that I had with you and your wonderful mother last year. Please
give her my kindest regards and assure her that since we have had
three boys of our own and three girls of our om, we know the problems
and the joys of raising a family.

With all good wishes, I em

Sincerely yours,

Direotor of Physical Education,
PCA :AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
