THE CENTRAL CONSTRUCTION CO. Highway and Railroad Construction, Bridges, Sewers, Sewage Disposal Plants, Street Improvements, Foundations CRO Garden City,Kans. August 11,1939. Dr e F.C eAllen,. University of Kansas, Lawrence , Kans. Dear Dr.Allen:- I trust you will pardon the liberty I take in writing you but I do so in behalf of LeRoy who seems overly anxious to return to the University for some post- graduate work, He seems determined to continue his work in geology and personally,while I am not opposed to it,am leaving the matter entirely in his hands. However,in order for him to accomplish this,he must arrange to at least be in a position to defray his actual operating expenses in so far as his room and board are concerned. This expense will no doubt amount to possibly in the neighborhood of $50.00 per month anderthereabout. It has eccured to me that possibly you might have something in mind or be of some assistance to him in helping him to secure some kind of employment of any — descriptinn whereby he could help himself to gain his objective and if so,such assistance would be greatly appreciated by me. In the meantime,I may be in need of a first class young man of say from 22 to 28 years of age to use as a time-keeper and book-keeper. Should you know of such a person with a book-keeping education,kindly have him write me here telling of his general make up physically, education,experience,etc. Of course,your OK on him as to his personality would be greatly appreciated. Kindest personal regards and best wishes. Yours very truly,
