Dear "Doc":

I received your letter and appreciate your checking up on me on
the matter of Dr. Boughton's contribution to our athletic injuries
coursee I presume the implications of one of the sentences in the
folder are different than I had intended.

Neither Chuck Cramer nor Dr. Boughton suggested that I say anything
about their qualifications and as far as I know Dr. Boughton knows
nothing about what has been printed. The fact is that he has been
running some tests on treatments for athlete's foot with Chuck Cramer
and Chuck offered to bring the doctor along to explain it to the boys
heree That's about all there is to it.

Of course, we know Chuck's qualifications because we have tested
him several times in conjunction with other regular trainers and
physicians that we have had on our staff. I don't know of anyone
anywhere, aside from yourself, who has kept more up to date on
athletic injuries and the latest methods in their care and treat-
ment than has Chuck Cramer. As far as Dr. Boughton is concerned,
he is just extra and is charging us nothing for his services.

I am glad to have your tip, however, and we'll be pretty careful
hereafter in wording the statements in our folders. You understand
we have always enjoyed your work in our coaching schools and, of
course, expect to invite you to participate in them in the future.

With best wishes, I an,

Yours very cordially,
