Dear Mre Allen:

I have been asked by one of the leading
service clubs of this city to discuss the topic of
“Amateurism and Professionalism in Athletics."

I would appreciate very much if you might
be able to assist me in assembling data for the
presentation of this topic. If you could give me the
following information, or direct me to the source of
such information, it would prove most helpful.

1. Rules of eligibility and definition of
an amateur as used by the association with which you
are connected.

2- Any special arrangements that your
organization may have that are designed to cover the
assisting of atletes in attending school, making trips,
appearing in tournaments and exhibitions, etc.

3. Any other related information that you
feel might be useful in this instance.

May I take this opportunity to thank you
for your assistance.

Sincerely yours,

Saat at.
