Dear Fhog:

I was asked to write you concerning: a basketball game
between Fort Riley and Kansas University. Tentative plans here
call for having a basketball team, and if they go through, I
imagine the camp will have a pretty fair club as talent seems to
be plentifule

Would you please advise whether or not you would be
interested in playing on a home-and-home basis, or if not,on a
home-and=-home basis, whether you would play either here or therés
Also advise what guarantee you could offer if we played you only
at Lawrences

I saw Louie last week-end and he asked if I had seen
you lately.e He is really quite an admirer of yourse I guess
he will have a fair ball club at Iowa State this year unless
he loses his boys between now and the start of the seasons I
understand you are going to have quite a club at KeUe as usuale

With kindest personal regards, I am

a

Sincerely yours,

Captain, Cavalry
