Dear Doctor Allen:

Enclosed is a copy ofa letter which I am contemplating
sending to Coach Bruce Drake. Before sending this letter, I
would like to get your opinion or suggestions on the idea, and
also what you think Bruce's reaction might be.

I have thought about this for quite some time, as I need
more schooling to gain advancement in my particular phase of
work. My immediate employer agrees that a Petroleum Engineering
course would be the most essential. It would be all business
for me this time, and I know thatI'1ll make good grades.

By working weekends in Oklahoma City for Phillips, I can
earn about $30 per month, and also keep my seniority rating with
the company. Along with this job and a little work at Oklahoma:
University, I could earn enough to support my family.

Thanking you for any suggestions you may have, and with
kindest personal regards to you and the family, I remain,

Respectfully,

Anaad tisSa5>
