Dear Joe,

I have been working with my good friend, Harley (Mud) Davis,
who has been helping a young man named Wilson Houts find em-
ployment. Wilson is the son of the Bean of Women at the
Central Missouri State Teachers College, Warrensburg, Ho.

The son that we lost in 1925, Forrest, Jr., and Wilson were
boy-hood friends when I was coaching at Warrensburg from 1912-
1919. This young man has hed en unfortunate experience as an
_@lehoholic. I took him to St. Joseph to the state hospital
there right after labor day and he got out about two weeks ago.
He is now not drinking and I have given him work here at the
University endeavoring te build his morale and increase his
physical es well as his mental stawine. .

Harley Davis suggests that if I would write you you might be —
able to give him an opportunity for work if and when he is
able to do the job fer youe I would appreciate it, Joe, if
such a thing could be possible. Will you write me and let
me know as to the possibility of the future?

days ef our early association.

Sincerely,

y. Director of Physical Education and Recreation
