Dear Doctor:

I am writing you in regard to the possibility
of securing a letter of recommendation for the Physical
Education program of the United States Navy.

Since the applications for a commission in the
Physic¢al Education program have been discontinued, I am
attempting to obtain a Chief Petty Officer's rating in
Gene Tunney's program. His representative is due in
Kansas City on the sixteenth of June; so, if possible,
"Doe", {*d sure appreciate a letter of recommendation.

How are all the Allen's? Please give them my regards.
I am still working for Phillips, but under the present
circumstances, I dont think it will be for long as eventually
Unele Sam will be needing more men. I am trying to enlist
as I believe in cetting in —— I like, rather than
wait and get placed.

The Ebling's are all in good health, and
the youngest of them is certainly getting grown up
and cute, Ray has been sent back to Bartlesville again,
so I dont see much of the family, and must go on
correspondence for news.

Well, Doc, I hope you will be able to find time
to help me, and shenks alot.

Sincerely,

Lom
