Dear Dr. Allen; ‘

I remember that a few years ago one of our college
boys visited you and received some very valuable suggestions
concerning a football injury which he had been having trouble
with for sometime. May I ask you to express your opinion
as to treatment that the doctor is giving my son for a ¢
difficulty which has arisen following a series of knee
bruises. As a result of these bruises he has developed
a condition of "water on the knee". The doctor drained off
quite a quantity of water this morning, bandaged the knee
tightly, told him to take the bandage off at night and
to put it back on each morning. It had been my understanding
that there was danger in draining off this liquid and I am
not sure that we have men in our town or neighboring towns
that have had enough experience with this sort of thing.
If you have had experience and if you have any suggestion
that you could offer we would ‘appreciate it very much.

Yours very sincerely,
