Dear Doc:

This is in line with the subject I discussed with you
sometime ago with reference to some of the kids coming
up from Pittsburg, starting to school the first of July.

One of the boys, George Timmons, will be 18 the 10th.

of August. He plans to start to school on the first of
July semester and what he would like to know is about
what his prospects are for finishing the semester that
closes along about November lst. He has the option of
enrolling in either the complete semester or an eight
weeks short course which is complete in itself. What

he is concerned about is that he doesn't want to tackle
the full semester and then be called out and not get any
credit at all for the work he had done.

I know you can't foresee the regulations and instructions,
but at the present time how soon would a boy be called out
who had to register August l0th., and does the draft board
have any latitude in fen after they have

been examined and accepted forJmilitary service.

I would appreciate any information you can give me so I can
pass it on and [I'll treat the information you might give me
with the greatest of care.

With kindest personal regards, I am

Cordially,

GEN :OM
