Dear Dr. Allen:

I am writing you in regard to some arm trouble that one
of the pitchers on our ball team is havinge

The player's name is Rufus Meadows and he is one of the
finest fellows I have ever had the pleasure of playing

ball with. He seems to be having a great deal of difficulty
with his arm. The main trouble seems to be when he throws

a fast ball or a screw ball. He says it doesn't hurt at

all when he throws a curve. He suspects that he may have

a chipped bone in the elbow, which is the location of his
trouble apparently, and had in mind having it operated on.

I have advised him against that however, because I thought
possibly you might be willing to look at his arm and if any-
thing could be done for it, to fix it up for him or if you
could not fix it, at least we would have some reliable advise
upon which to proceed with the operation.

Meadows works every day but Friday and Saturday in the
Stearman Aircraft plant here but I am quite sure that
he would be willing and able to come to Lawrence at any
time that you might be willing to look him over.

If you can and will do this Doc, please let us know when
you want him to come and how long he should plan to stay.
I shall appreciate anything that you are able to do for
Meadows.»

Respectfully yours,
