Dear Fog: 7 . f

I spoke $o you last night about Wark and thought
you would like to have a letter on it.

He is at present director of advanced training
of Paratroopw at Ft. Benning, Ga.,and is classified as
"Essential*®, He feels however that if he wanted to get out
of th Army it would not be difficult on account of his
having over 150 points and his limited service, not being
physically fit for combat duty.

Now that the Pacific war may come to an end very
shortly and a great many men released from service, Mark,
like most veterans is looking forward to the future and getting
back into civilian life.

He seems to be interested in this new set-up of
Veterans Aid Organization and &As asked me to find out from
you what the prospects would be for him to secure one of these
appointments in Kansas, and any additional information as to
the pay and how to go about applying for the job.

Mark understands men and gets along with them.
His pay is around $7,000. per year but he realizes that there
will have to be readjustments to get back into civilian life.

I know he would like to hear from you direct. If more
convenient I will write to him as to wat you find out.

: Thanking you for past favors and with kindest
regards, I an,
Yours truly,

Marts address:

. Lt. Col. Mark Alexander,

 

A.T.D., Paratroop School,
Ft Seniing Georgia.
