Dear Phog:

I have your letter of June 2 and have talked with Jack Gray in regard
to the games at lawrence this winter,

Fog, Jack says it will be impossible for him to play on December 8 and 9,
He assists with football and quite a few of the basketball players are
football players and he feels that he will not be ready at that time,

He can not play on December 16 or 17, Then, Christmas week he takes @
trip East playing at Madison Square Garden in New York and at Convention
Hall in Philadelphia, Returning home, he has conference games the

first week in January,

He suggests January 15 and 16 as he plays the University of Arkansas
at Fayetteville on the 12th and 13th and could come to Lawrence on >
this same trip.

Now, Phog, if you and Jack are unable to get together this winter, I
suggest you send me some dates on which you could play in 1940 and
I will get it worked out for you. I assume that it doesn't matter
with you whether we play this year or next year, and since Jack had
an opportunity to go East this year why it might be more convenient
to give you the return games next season.

I do not want you to be embarrassed and I think if you are unable to
get together in 1939, we should begin immediately to work out definite
dates for 1940,

We are planning to be at Estes Park during the month of July. I
remember with so much pleasure our summer there a few years ago.

With sincere regards and best wishes, I am

Yours very cordially
