Mr. Ezra R. Greer, of 935 Everett Street, Kansas City, Kansas, has applied
to the National Urban League for assistance in obtaining a position. He
is interested in securing employment in one of the following fields:
Teaching - Community Organization - Recreation - Research.

Mr. Greer has given your name as a reference. From your knowledge of his
background, education, and employment experiences, and from contacts you
have had with him, you are doubtless in a position to give an estimate
of his abilities, and to tell me something about his character and
personality.

What rating did he have as a student? How does he get along with people?
In your opinion, what are his outstanding personal qualities? In which
of the above-mentioned fields do you believe he will render the most
effective service?

We should greatly appreciate receiving a statement from you, for it will
assist us in evaluating Mr. Greer, and in trying to place him. A self-
addressed, stamped envelope is enclosed for your reply.

Sincerely yours,

Re. T. Arnold Hill, Director
? Department of Industrial Relations.
