Dear Doctor Allen:

Tom Cordell, local high school athlete, who is making a fine record
in both football and basketball, has been bothered with a bad knee
and shoulder. Mr. Cordell, Assistant Sales Manager in our Phillips
organization, is quite anxious that something be done about Tom's
injuries and he has asked me to write and find out if you would
examine the boy. Tom is a tall, well coordinated, rangy boy with
prospects of a great future in athletics providing his knee responds
to treatment,

I realize how busy you are at this time but know that you will see
Tom if at all possible. He can make arrangements to be in Lawrence
for an appointment at your convenience but prefers some weekend so

he would not miss any school. If next weekend is suitable, he can
leave Bartlesville Saturday morning, November 20, be in Lawrence that
afternoon and will stay over Monday if necessary. I shall appreciate
an answer as to when it will be advisable for Tom to come to Lawrence.

Best regards to Mrs. Allen and the Family,
Thanking you for the favor,

Respectfully,

AaB
