Lawrence, Kansas,

Dear Doctor Allen:

On Monday of this week, following
my trip to Lawrence, I received your letter,
It was undoubtedly delayed,

You asked me to let you know whether
John was the boy who had talked to Mr. Smith
about a room. It was he all right, but he has
made no definite plans for staying there. We
will probably be down again shortly after our
final examinations to look for a room. John plans
to spend the summer in Nevada working in a gold
mine,

I am taking advantage of a half-
hour off between jobs to write this letter.
You would have heard from me sooner, but
studies have been greatly increased. And
finals are only a week and a half off,

Sincerely,

luwwar WH. DLrine

Dear Doctor Allens:

Thinking that you had, perhaps,
overlooked my letter of a few weeks ago,
I am taking the liberty of writing again
to try to make an appointment with you.
If it is convenient for you, John Hallberg
and I should like to talk with you some-
time during the afternoon or evening of
Sunday, May 14.

We are eagerly looking forward
to seeing you again soon.

Dear Doctor Allen:

It seems to me that you have become quite a
"oad-about."” Every time I see an article in the paper
about you it is from a different city.

John Hallberg and I are now deep in our second
semester of work at Junior College. We both finished
the first semester with better than a "C" average. Next
week John plans to go to the state De Moley Basketball
tournament. Although our Westport M. E. team ended in |
fourth place in our league it had the distinction of
loosing five games by one point, The coach of our team,
"Ken" Cormany, former Kansas City Life player, is quite
pleased with John's improvement this season.

John and I should like to have the opportunity
of talking with you again some Sunday in the near future,
preferably a week or two after Easter.

The "Soso" job is developing in fine shape.
Although I won't be able to make a salary my first summer,
Mr. Touton, has offered me a fine commission on each

boy I can get to attend, With the help of several friends

I have worked up a formidable mailing list of more than

thirty prospects. I write on the average of ten letters
a week in connection with my sales campaign which should
surely bring some results.

The “old bank account" is starting to get fat
again for since Christmas I have been working 40 hours
a week on my old job at the Star. :

I close with the hopes of hearing from you
SOON»

Sincerely

This is simply to aclmowledge receipt of

for him to see you end your frien.

Dear Doctor Allen:

I am writing you again, but this time in regard
to David Payne. He is hoping to come to K. U. next
semester. It is, however, without his knowledge
thet this letter is being written.

David told me that he plans to write to you soon
to try to make an appointment for an interviens and
I thought that a littie advance information about him
might be of interest to you. In high school he was
an All Star (All City) forward for Westport. Since
his graduation he has played two or three seasons of
independent ball with such teams as College of —
DeMolay, Cassanovas, and a church team.

David has more fight than any one player I have
-ever played with, but, according to him, he feels
that he stands much room for improvement in the line
of fundamentals--something you are certainly qualified
to give him.

In all truth I am able to say that since the.
time I moved to Kansas City David has been my "ideal"
not only in the line of athletics, but as a real fellow.

Sincerely

Dear Doctor Allen:

Shortly after the receipt of your recent letter
in which you enclosed a carbon copy of a letter sent
to Mr. Louis Touton, I had a talk with him about
Camp Soso. After consideration of the matter he
offered me a summer at his camp with transportation
and expenses paid, but no salary. He did, however,
offer me a substantial commission on each boy I
could induce to attend the camp.

After some consideration and virtual assurance
of a loan in the event I am unable to get some boys
to go, I accepted his offer.

I had a long talk with my father recently and
told him of the low tuition rates offered to residents
of Kansas. He assured me that he would give the matter
serious consideration.

John Hallberg and I are playing on an average of
three games a week. Thus far, however, we have the
low winning percentage of about .40, but we have lost
three games by only one point. John has been scoring
an average of three baskets a game and looks much
improved over last season. —

May I again thank you for using your influence
to aid me in getting my job with Mr. Touton, and for
your interest in John and me.

Sincerely,

duwm Bo Srtiar

1908 <. asd,

Kansas City, Missouri,
September 2O, 1958.

Dr. Fs Cs Allen,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Mr. Allens

By this late date you have, no doubt, started school at
Ke Ue. Hallberg and I started to Junior College more than two
weeks ago. At present I am takings shorthand with no credit,
Bugiish with three hours credit, accounting with three hours
eredit, speech with two credit hours and am carrying five
hours of Am@érican History, a total of thirteen credit hours.
I failed to get the lab course I wanted and was forced to fill
1 Wit hievory. If my classes aren't closed out, I wili get
One Of my required labs out of the way next semester.

Your book, "Better Basketball," proved to be quite inter-
esting. ili read everything but the description of the plays
and part of the medical training. The starting of school was
greatly responsible for my failure to read those parts. I
have also taken your "Push-up prescription" every night and
morning and have added some leg exercises. I think, however,
that Hallberg is falling down on the job, and that a letter or
a stern word from you might be just the thing to straighten
Dom oab. Ge is, [ think, suffering from a slight case of ‘too
much money and too little responsibility.

Can you give me some information, at your convenience, as
Go the rules or laws covering the establishment of residence
in Kansas? JI am willing to go as far as adoption if it will
be worth my while as far as expenses go.

I have been working after school on my old job at the Star,
but as the work was to be temporary, I secured an N. YY. A. job.
I also have two Saturday jobs at the Star. For the first week
of school [I was quite depressed. My bank account almost hit
Mrock bottom” but it has started to rise again.

Realizing full well the amount of work that will be piled
up for you at this busy enrollment season, I do not expect an
acknowledgement of this letter for some time.

Thank you very much again for all your interest in a “Bench-
warmer" with high aspirations.

Sincerely,
