UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS HEALTH SERVICE WATKINS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL LAWRENCE, KANSAS January 9, 1943 Dr. Fe. Ce Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Dear Dr. Allen Warren Blair requests a letter from us relative to his absences from physical conditioning. Octobe# 8 to October 14 he had a digestive upset. October 21, he was treated for an abrasion caused by a fall at the box factory. October 23 he had an active tinea cruris which has waxed and waned and is now almost cleared up. He has sufficient reason for missing a large part of his class periods in physical conditioning. He was given statements by us on several occasions and when I saw him yesterday he was carrying these statements in his bill fold. I do not care to affirm that he could not attend occasional physical conditioning classes, and I advised him that he should have reported to you sooner to discuss his absences. tak oe Ralph I.
