the Great Lakes Naval station, I will secure a

peck Officer's rating with a commission of Ensign.

The commanding officer has requested three letters

of recommendation pertaining to my character and

has suggested that one come from a University official.
I fully realize how terribly busy you are at this

time of year, but 1 fell that perhaps yom know my
character and qualifications better than any other
person at the University.

Theretore, if it 1s at all possible, please send
youf letter of recommendation, either to me at the
enclosed address or to the Naval Recruiting Station,
5lb Post Office Building, Buffalo, New York.

I will certainly appreciate your fulfillment of
this request. Please give Mrs. Allen and Eleanor
my regards. Best of luck on your current basket-
ball season.

Verx truly yours,
