 “Dite We Ce Jessen .
Peabody, Kansas
Dear Dre Jessen:

May I take this means of expressing to you and
Mrse Jessen my sincere appreciation for the splendid hospitality
shown me upon my visit in your hane last Friday evenings

it is a great pleasure to me to meet such splendid
people and I assure you I enjoyed every minute of ite

i was sorry that Hoyt lost his ball game end I felt
extrenely sympathetic and sorry for his family who had built
up euch high hooves on winninge . Since all of us have encountered
Similar disappointments, I could understand thoroughly that a>
fellow who plays often is bound to get whipped occasionally,
and if it is only an occasional whipping then we are far ahead
I trust that you good people will come to see us and
it will be our pleasure to reciprocate your many kindnesses and
courtesies.

Sincerely yours,

Lirector of Physical Education and Recreation
Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach
