Dear Coach,

How is everything with you and the family? I saw Milton
when he was here in Tulsa and had a nice visit with him. I have been
intending to write you for some time, but you know how those things go.

I have been here with Morgan since '34 and if you ever need
any first class engravings, just send me the photographs and we will do
you a real job. We also have a complete mat department. The thought
comes to me that you do have cuts made of the football and basketball
players and use a good sized quantity of mats. I would be glad to quote
you some prices on making halftone plates on brass instead of zinc, which
will stand more than five times the number of mats than zine will stand.
Please write me r@garding my ehances of getting this work. We make
all the plates for the Oil & Gas Journal, the largest Oil Publication
in the world, and also get business from all parts of the middle and
southwest.
One of my purposes in writing you is to find out if you need
a good basketball player. Ihave in mind a fellow here who graduated
from Central high School last year and wants to go to school. He a

ton, six foot five inches tall and a good ball player.
play ed center on Grady Skillern’s state championship ball club a year.

He is working at the present time and would have to have some means of

making his expenses through school. I give you my word Doe, that this
boy can easily be developed into a high scoring brilliant ball player. |

Last year I played with, in fact helped organize, the Frue-
hauf Trailers and we had a very suecessful season, going as far as the
Safeway team in the National Tournament in Denver. I am not playing
this year as they are making too mapy trips in this Missouri Valley
League and are not having much success. Have been following your team
and sure hope you get from second to first place in the next few weeks.

Good luck and write me soon as possible.

Sincerely,
