Dear Friend Adam:
1 should have written to you be
fore this, being as L get a letter
from you every morning whether
4 need it or not, but it has been
warm here for the last long time
and I can't write letters when it is
warm.
L wanted to put proposition up
to YOU before you get down in
Raleigh County to hoe corn for the
rest Of the summer l wanted to
arrange with you to build a hotel
with a kitchen and chef at Jack
sons Mills like they have at Deer
Park. Even with a good hotel and
everything like they have at Deer
Park the football training season
is rather hard on sport writer's, but
with nothing but a tent for a hotel
and a creek for a bathroom the sit
uation would be without justifica-
ton. It might be a little expensive,
but as YOU have often remarked
that YOU don't care a bit more for
a nickel than most people do for
$50, I thought if I could get to you
carly we could make satisfactory
Besides Ward Ian
ham says that the sport writer's
have have to sleep in pup tents,
and I'll be dog-goned If am going
to do that. Bailey Hupp, Howard
Hardesty and Harry Keck also
would like to have a hotel. SO that
makes it unanimous.
Speaking of Deer Park. had
circular letter from the manager
of the hotel saying he would like to
see me play golf up there this sum-
mer. Do you think I should charge
a flat day rate or 50 much a stroke?
You possibly know more about fl
nances than l do.
Have you< heard anything about
Ward Lanham going to be a candi-
date for an office? It is rumored
here he wants an office. thought
he had rather nice one in the
Home Savings Bank Building, but
now that he has two clients IN
stead of one I guess he viii have
to have larger office, SO there Will
be some place for his clients to rest
while he talks football to the news
paper boys
[ am been thinking Of going into
politics. What would you advise
ether or a course at Weston?

are getting into politics as a means
of reducing their income tax.
There's H. &C. ogden and A A.
Lilly and Major Nicely. Ogden Is
publisher while Lilly and Nicely
take up good bit of space. like the
press notices from the University
during football season. II I could
arrange to get the movies into poll
tics ] would like to be a movie cen
sor- Any movie star appearing In
a one-piece bathing suit would be
to take it off at once When
T was a small boy a fellow said
that some day would, be president.
I became president of literary
society at the tender age of fifteen.
and Congress never once 1nterfered
with program drew up.
Well. I suppose you are glad that
the University baseball season Is
over. Most everybody is. If. it had
been for the University of Pitts
burgh, the season might have been
medi ocre. I suppose you will play
Pitt at Forbes Field this fall II
think You should for my sake, be
cause the way the coaching situa-
ton looms up down there, it might
be the only game Pitt would win.
Being as there is nothing more
to write at this time, I will close.
