University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Mr. Allen:

This summer I have been working rather
hard. My parents left Emporia the latter part of June
and I am trying to make the necessery arrangements so
I may attend N.U. this fall.

I am planning to attend B.U. this fall
and will be up there the third of September to take
the ten day training course for cooks of the Co-op
houses for next winter. I heve applied for N.Y.A.
work for next winter and if it is at all possible I
will have to make at least twenty dollars a month to
meet my expenses there. If you could éffer me any advice
on this matter I would appreciate it.

T am afraid that I will be unable to come
to Lawrence before September as I will start to work as

soon as school is out and will be working all the time
from then on.

I am getting rather anxious to start pieying
playing a little basket ball again. In making the all state
class B team I am afraid I was a little over rated, but I
do feel that with continued work I could develop into K.U.
basket ball material. and would like very much to cdo that.

I certainly do appreciate the interest you
have taken in my problem and will eppreciate anything you
might be able to do in regard to it,

a
