Dear Dr. Allen:

It seems that I always write to you when I have a prob-
lem. The present one concerns the right arm of one of

our prospective ball players, Joe Gulledge, by name.

Joe hurt his arm several years ago and, I believe, partial-
ly through improper care on the part of certain trainers,
now has a condition which apparently needs some really
expert care. Joe is one of several young ball players

in our employ who have left professional baseball with

the thought of starting to work to build themselves | a
future in aircraft.

I hesitate to write you concerning this case, because I
know the demands on your time, but I thought if it were
possible, it would be very much appreciated if an op-
portunity could be secured for you to look at Joe's arm.
It appears to be a quite unusual injury in that it is
behind the shoulder joint (I am trying to think of the
neme of the muscles, but I am afraid my Anatomy has
slipped away from me). Any suggestions which you may
have as a possibility of upline us wh this problem
will be very much appreciated.

Please give my regards to the folks at the gym.

Best personal regards,
