A letter written to T. N. Carswell from Gib Sandefer, Marines' Memorial Club, San Francisco 2, California, dated Saturday. Sandefer advises that he went by Mare Island which always makes him think of Carswell and World War One. He discusses his humorous list of qualifications that he gave to Jake [J. D. Sandefer, Jr.] regarding recommendations for the new President of their "ole' school" [Hardin-Simmons University] noting he [Elwin Lloyd Skiles] might be the best since Prexy [J. D. Sandefer, Sr.]. He advises that he intends to write to Skiles and offer his help but that he is like his dad and "not in the ass kissing business" so he will wait to see if it will be appreciated. He requests that he tell Uncle Johnnie Roach that while he was at LBJ's Ranch when playing Austin he ran into someone from HSU who's sister married T. J. Bailey of Ozona.
