Dear Doctor:

Possibly you won't remember me but I was in school fora short
time at Kansas, My home is in Belleville where the Nesmith
boys come from,

Doctor I have a definite purpose in mind as I write to you.
I would very much like to ee into athletic training, I
know that you are recognized as one of the outstanding men
in the country in this line of sports worke I thought that
by writing to you it might aid me in getting a start,

I have been going to school here in Kearney to the State
Normal College and have been active in the athletic depart-
ment. My work consists of the usual work as a trainer ina
small college, I have not, however, completed my work for «
degree and = is somewhat of a handicap. This work does
not pay anything in the way of a salary because no fund has
been set aside for such a purpose so I am doing it for the
experience that may be derived from it,

IL would like to be able to secure a. job of this sort in a
small school or in any type of athletic organization and
gradually work uv. I have had most of my anatomy and other
essential courses and would like to come to Kansas for a
short period of study under you if I couldknow that I would

be able to secure a position somewhere,
