Dear Docs

Harry Je Foresman was coming up to see you Sunday but I discovered
that you would not be there until Sunday evening so I presume he has
put his trip off.

He has been working for me all summer in the capacity of helping
our driller and should be in first-class condition. He is definitely
anxious to start to school and barring mishaps should go along in about
the fashion that an ordinary normal freshman does.

This chap is a first-class lad and I recommend him to you unre-
servedly. He is not a first-class student but I think has enough
perseverance and intelligence to make an average record in school.

He has got a lot of courage, persistence and a down-right constructive
desire to get an education. On top of this I think he will make a
basketball player and I believe he is a competitor,every inch of him.

Just how much work he will be able to handle on the outside is
conjectural - time alone will tell. He has a pretty fair nest egg to
start with and with a little help on the side should make it nicely.
I shall consider it an extreme favor if you will help this fellow out
as far as you conveniently can.

I hope you have had a pleasant summer, remunerative as well as
pleasurable. I shall likely see you before this fall beoomes very
olde

With warmest personal regards, I am

Sincerely,

GEN : OM
