June 24th, 1941 Mr, Jimmy Irick 305 W. Peoria St. Paola, Kansas ~ Dear Jimmy: I am certainly glad to have your letter of the 22nd instant and I assure you it will be a pleasure to have you here at the University. I note that you have been drilling oil south of Lawrence. That's good tough work and will really make a husky man out of you. I know of nothing better for young men than _this type of work to develope themselves and to make some money. I'm in summer session here for the next six weeks and I will be in Lawrence most of the time. Won't you let me know when it is convenient for you to come up and I will be happy to go over the whole situation with you with the view of helping you. I will be glad to give you a job so that with the money you have you can make your way through the University. Trusting to hear from you in the near future, and with kindest regards and best wishes, I an, Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education and Recreation-Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach.
