My dear sir:-

I have read the attached article with great deal of interest
for the reason that I have a boy affected very much the same as this Howard
Engleman. He is 17 years finishing High School this year and is the
outstanding player in Western N C circles from both flovr game and scoring,
this is granted by all opposing coaches; however he has a kmee that was
injured once and doctors say nothing very bad wrong- but in about every fourth
game it gives trouble and have to leave him off for a game.

My reason for writing is that, I am asking if you will
give me some information as to best treatment, if you will and advise me
the cost will be glad to comply. He is 6 foot two and weights around 150
pounds, just lately grew up and now putting on weight, also is one of the
best tennis players in Blue Ridge Conference of High Scools and is the best
Base ball player, will play Amerivan Legion Ball this sumer having just been
make eligible by re—arrangment of territory. I have several feelers from
Colleges for him; but they all want him to play Football- which I took him
out this year, as this was where he first injured knee.

Assuring you will appreciate your reply, I an,

eee ee
