Ran across this item on ebay. It's a 1968 letter from Adolph Rupp to his old basketball coach, Forrest "Phog" Allen, who coached Rupp at Kansas. (and whom Rupp passed for the all-time wins list)
Interesting letter. It alludes to Allen's healthy lifestyle (Allen was known as a health and nutrition nut) and also talks about Rupp going to coaching clinics etc. on the part of the US Armed Services (something many people probably aren't aware of).
Anyway, here's the ebay listing.

Here's a photo of the letter which is just readable.
