Dear Mr. Allen:

I am in need of some helpful suggestion in relation
to our football field. Our elevation and drainage has not
been good. We are now planing to move our field over on
its present location some fifteen or twenty feet to make
room for construction of teanis courts.

While we are making this move, we plan to grade
eur field for proper drainage. Also to sod same. Do you
have any suggestion to offer as to how many inches drop
we should have to get proper desirable drainage ?, Would you
suggest the drainage slop be to the sides or lengthwise
of the field.

Any suggestion you may be able to offer us will
be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Coda Pheweote
