LAW OFFICES OF Sheridan, Bighop & Sullivant BOTH PHONES NO. 65 BERNARD L. SHERIDAN Paula, Kansas DEPOSITIONS NOTARIAL WORK L. PERRY BISHOP COLLECTIONS /J. MILTON SULLIVANT January 3, 1944 Dr. Forrest C, Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I have received your letter of recommendation which I recently requested. This letter has arrived in plenty of time for the use I had contemplated. I know that you are very busy with the basketball team, and I am also aware that my request was made at one of the very busiest times of the year. As a matter of fact, for that very reason and also because I had never competed directly under you or had the benefit of your coaching ability, I hesitated to call upon you for this letter, but could think of no other party who could write a letter which would be as great a benefit to me as would a letter from you, I note however, that you have neglected to sign the letter, no doubt due to the fact that you were in a hurry and that you did sign the letter which accompanied the enclosure, so I am enclosing the letter for your signature. LI am sure this letter will be of great value to me when I go before the draft for induction, and I am greatly indebted to you for the same, Thanking you for your great favor in this matter and with kindest regards, I am Yours truly, aie f "pllrkplallatactâ„¢ Enc, P. S. As usual I see the basketball team of the Alma Mater is compiling a good record,
