Dear Dr. Allen:

We are definitely interested in Ray Williams' application and I believe we
can find a place for him in our Accounting or other similar departments.

I can understand the haziness regarding the type of man that we are looking
for in our training division. It is rather difficult to describe the back-
ground that we need there. The man probably should have a little more
mechanical background than I recall that Kappelman has although he is the
type of personality for which we are looking. I have talked to him several
times about coming here and even brought him out to interview officials

here prior to my connection with the company. At that time I had the same
impression as that expresged in your letter that he was still hoping for
that good season with the stick$ so he could go up with pro ball. I believe
there is some spot in the organization for him although it probably would
not be the training job for the present at least. I would like to corres-
pond with him if he is definitely interested in quitting pro ball. We have
quite an ambitious recreational program lined out for the winter. Among
other things we could use him very nicely to help with it. You will be in-
terested to know that Bud Browning started early this week training a
basketball squad which will eventually play in several local leagues as well
as in a good sized inter-plant program.

We are enclosing several application blanks for Williams, Kappelman, or any
others whom you might recommend. We will be glad to talk with Williams or
Kappelman at any time they may care to come down.

I appreciate very much your interest in our problems and am still looking
forward to your promised visit.

Sincerely yours,

BORING AIRPLANE COMPANY
