Dear Dr. Allen:

I wrote to you some time ago requesting
information as to the knee pads worn by some of your
players. You instructed me to get in touch with ir.
Kelley at the University of lexas for further informa-
tion.

This morning I received word from Mr.
Kelley to the effect that it would be impossible to
procure a pair of these pads since they were more or
less in an "experimental stage".

I realize that this is an imposition
on you and + dislike to annoy you with these inquiries,
but 1 was wondering if you might happen to have a pair
of these pads in reserve. tf you could possibly arrange
to procure a pair of these pads for me 1 would be very
appreciative and will you send you a check or money order
in payment for them.

Please pardon me for being a little
persistent but 1 would like very much to secure these
pads if it is at all possible.

Thank you again for your much appreciated
help, I am

Very cordially yours,

H Nae
