Dear Dr. Allen:

If you have had time to read the minutes of the Trustees'
meeting which was held during Commencement week here last
month, you will have noticed that Fred Ellsworth mentioned
in his letter the manpower shortage which is seriously
affecting the progress of the Memorial Campaign.

We will need, desperately, extra help this coming fall and
winter. Between September 1 and January 1, we will need
three extra men, and from January 1 to June 15, 1947, we
will need two men. Frankly we are at a loss to know where
to find this help and we are turning to you for some
possible suggestiéns.

The type of man we need for our work is, of course, the
type man who is able to find many other opportunities, any
one of which offers permanent employment which we cannot
extend. If you know of a man, or woman for that matter,
who you think would be able to help with the Memorial
Campaign, would you let us knowe I will make every effort
to contact him and attempt to line him up with us.

We will appreciate anything you can do. Best personal
regardse

Yours’ very,
