Dear Dre Allen:

I am making application for entrance into the United States
Coast Guard Reserve Officer's Training Corpse It is necessary
that I enclose three letters of recommendation from some
responsible persons regarding my character and general recom-
mendationse I would like very mich for you to do this for me
if you feel that you can. |

The letters should be addressed to: The Commandant, United
States Coast Guard, Washington, D.C. It is necessary that
the letters be enclosed with the application which I submit
therefore it will be important that you send the letter back
tO Mee

Here are some general fects regarding me. I went to high school
in Ottawa which is my home. I also went to college there, where
I received an A.B, degree in 1936. I competed in four sports,
basketball, football, track and tennis. I have been in the
summer session at Kansas University for four summers and have
only my thesis to submit for my master's degree. For the past
six years I have been teaching physical education and coaching
in the high schools of Kansas.

 

I trust that you find it possible to help me out this time as
you have in many times past.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for those two games with the te
Tigers and the Wildcats, but I'm confident that you and the —
boys will pull through. We've had a very mediocre season, is
but with all underclassmen except one things should be mech i
better next year. “3

Thanking you again for this as well as all past favors, and
hoping to hear from you at your earliest convenience, Iam,

Yours very truly, 4
