Dear Les:

Dr. Frank i. Murley, a dentist of Leonardville, Kansas,
came in this morning with his son to have me examine his son's
shoulder. The shoulder had been dislocated a number of tines until

it is very susceptible to dislocation at the slightest provocation
when the arm is raised above the level of the shoulder joint.

I have fecommended to him the brace that you firm has
made for a number of people. I remember in particular Larry Smith,
@ son of Lawrence Smith of Smith-Grieves Publishing Company, The
boy was then playing for Pembroke Country Day Sehool. And then you
made one for Barly Chestnut's son, Lorraine. .

In my book, “Better Basketbali", the brace is desoribed
on pages 361~-2~35.

I am sure that Dr. Hurley will went a brace lille this made
for his som. In some cases doubtless the school would pay for it, but
I em sure thet Dr. Hurley is willing to pay for the brace. However,

I am wondering if you would be good enough to make him the school price
on it since the boy will compete in all sports at Leonardville High
School this next year. Mr. Lloyd Miller, the principal, wrote me re-
garding the boy, stating that he shows promise in in athletics and that
he is eager to participate in football and basketball.

I suggested thet perhaps Dr. Hurley could drive in and
have your firm take the measvremonts there, but Dr. lMurley was in a
rush to get back to his practice and could not drive in today. ould
it be possible for Frank Mandeville to write to Dr. Hurley or to Mr.
Lloyd Miller, the principal, arid let them know whe he might be in the

who makes the braces. I will eppreciate this if you will write Dr.
Hurley at your earliest convenience, making the necessary arrangements.
With all good wishes, I en

Sincerely yours,

ie ‘Director of Physical Baucation,
PCALAH Varsity Basketball Coach.
