Dear Dr. Allen:

Our Conference is undertaking for 354 states
the work of investigating the moral character and fit-
ness for the practice of law of those attorneys of one
state who seek admission to the bar of another. In
this connection we have been asked to report on Mr.
Sheldon Wingerd, 35, who states he was superintendent
of schools at Rexford, Kansas, during 1957-1940. In
1940-1941 he studied law at the University of Kansas,
was admitted to the bar in August 1941, and since
November 1941 has been a special agent in the Investiga-
tion Division of the Farm Security Administration. He is
living in Doniphan, Nebraska, and is applying for ad-
mission to the bar of Nebraska.

We understand you know Mr. Wingerd*and are there-
fore anxious to have your frank opinion as to his moral
character and reputation while you were in close touch
with him. .

All data will be for the confidential use of the
Nebraska State Bar, and your early reply will be: much
appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

Executive Secretary
