Transcript OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT University of Houston 3801 CULLEN BOULEVARD HOUSTON 4, TEXAS December 22, 1959 Mr. D. Olu. Oyefesobi St. Patrick's Catholic School Owu - Ikija via Ijebu-Ode Nigeria Dear Mr. Oyefesobi; Your very nice letter of October 9 has only this date reached my desk. The delay seems to have been occasioned by insufficient postage. I have forwarded your letter and photograph to Mr. J. E. Westberry, Assistant Registrar of Texas Southern University, Houston, Texas. He and I have discussed by telephone your problem. He thinks it is possible that his university or the University of Texas, Austin, Texas, may be able to find means of assisting you. Let me state that I most sincerely hope that you are successful in your efforts. The University of Houston wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Very truly yours, Clanton VJ. Williams President ekr cc: Mr. Westberry
