Dear Mr. Allen;

I am writing you this letter to let you know my circum-
stances, I graduated from McLouth High School in 1935. The
next year and one-half I spent at Kansas University. I was
forced to quit school because of lack of money.

For the next three years I helped my father on his farm
where I finally saved enough money to start back to school.

I got a job washing dishes fo my board, this was enough to
help me get through school the first year, Then, after about
three weeks the place where I was working , sold their equip-
ment and I was out of a job. Since then I have not been able
to get another job.

I have been out for football since the start of the season.
but I haven't made much of a showing, maybe I can break through
after while.

I plan to go out for basketball. TI.:played on the high
school for three years. Since I have been out of school
I played :foeur years inde pencent basket with the MecLouth
town team. These facts don't mean very much except I like
to play basketball and that I have hac some experience,

This year I transferred from Engeering to Physiéal Educa-
tion. It took me several years to find exactly what I wanted
to do but now I know it is to coach.

I would appreciate anything you could do for me toward
helping me get a job. I am twenty-two years old-.and if I
don't go on this time , I'll probably not ever have a chance
to go on to school..again,

This letter is full of I's, it is not egotism but poor
writing.

Very Sincerely Yours,

Lag Bk
