Nile Kinnick's correspondence with his family, January-June 1939

1939-03-26: Front

March 26,  1939 
Mr. James W. Fay
Emmetsburg, Iowa
Dear Mr. Fay:
It was very considerate of you to write me on the
20th in regard to your broadcast from Sioux City
on the 24th, and I wish to thank you for your
thoughtfulness.    However, it was impossible for
us to get KSCJ at that time of the evening because
our set is small and not a new one.  I tried on
Thursday evening also to get that station but could
not raise it at all.
If you have an extra copy of your script, both for
Friday's broadcast and for the one you made at Cedar
Rapids,  I should be much interested is reading your
remarks on the Iowa situation, and also on our mutual
friend.
Nile has reported several times on his impressions
of the new coaches, and with mounting praise.    He
seems to be enjoying the spring practice., which is
something that he usually isn't crazy about, and it
would appear that Iowa is going to make an entirely
different showing next fall.
With my kindest regards,  I am
Yours very truly [Nile Kinnick, Sr.]
