Dear Mr. Breidenthal:
Answering your letter of July 5th. First, I wish to thank you

son, Al, making it possible for him to continue in school, and
regret not having been able to repay you.

We have had quite a hard time and last year was pretty hard on

Al as he worked and went to school and also played basketball.

He only has about half a semester to graduate, but was offered

a better position if he would play basketball in Oklahoma. I

am hoping, at the end of next year, to be able to pay you something
on this debt. At present I cannot send you anything and Al had to
borrow money to buy a second-hand car as he had to have one for
this position. :

At present I am rooming K. U. Athletes and boarded them all
winter. I ama nurse and I think I will return to nursing, as
that is all clear profit, and I really cannot make a cent on
boarding the boys. Mr. Wellhausen has not worked for 5 years.
If I nurse again I hope you will trust me to do my very best to
get this debt cleared and I will also keep after Al about it.

Thanking you for your patience and hoping to be able to surprise
you with a small payment sometime, I remain

Yours gratefully,

 

(Signed) MRS. EDWARD L. WELLHAUSEN
