We are interested in information on the Rebel
Conference football teams. We generally try to follow the Montgomery and Mobile
papers thereon but have seen very little about your team or ours. If you have
back issues with information on standings, statistics and All-Conference
selections, we would like very much to have several issues thereof. We will be
glad to pay you for the service.
We are proud to be members of the Rebel Conference and
have enjoyed our competition with your school which has consistently provided
the cleanest and most highly entertaining sports event we ever see. We
certainly have the highest respect and regards for your teams.
Sincerely yours,
