Mr. Knute Kresie,
c/o Iola Ban Johnson Baseball Team,
Iola, Eansas.

Dear Knute:

I received a letter from Jack Kline, of Miller,
Kensas, stating that Jack Dean of Harveyville, who hed been
planning to attend K. U., is now talking of attending Kansas
State. The Aggie boys tell him that he can go to school in
the summer at Kansas State and play on the Manhattan Ban
Johnson League Team there.

Kline states that they are offering him a job during
the summer and apparently one at the Aggies during the school
year. He says that Jack Dean will return to Harveyville September

I am wondering if you would not write Jack Dean a
letter and tell him that of course we will give him a job here
as we have promised and he can follow the course that he desires
here et the University. Was not Jack Dean the boy that you
were talking to me about and that we visited with?

The Aggies are working tooth and toenail making big
promises which I doubt if they can keep. I will appreciate
your writing this letter if you know Jack Dean well enough to
say the things that will be helpful. |

Congratulations on your good work. I hear some
mighty fine things concerning your fine performances in Iola.
Also congrats on the Kansas City game.

Sincerely yours,

_ Director of Physical Education and Recreation,
FCA:AH Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach.
