Dr. Allen;

Application for commission in the U. S. Naval Reserve

In placing this important matter before you, it
is sincerely regretted that a personal letter cannot be
sent, but to do so would make it necessary to divert
energy now focused on other wartime duties,

The conscientious thought given your reply to this
request may affect the welfare and safety of many men, as
the man about whom we are writing may eventually be in a
position of command. Therefore, the requested information.
is of more than usual significance, and will have an impor-
tant bearing on the final decision.

Please complete the enclosed questionnaire so as to
indicate the applicant's qualities. Although we have
itemized several questions which we would like answered,
we urge you to give us complete information at the bottom
of the sheet concerning his character, personality, stand-
ing in his community, and your opinion as to his desirabil-
ity for appointment. If significant, distinguish between
facts and opinions from your own knowledge and those based
On extraneous information.

A return envelope is enclosed. This information is
officially requested and will be treated as strictly con-
fidential by the Navy Department, Please accept our thanks
for your assistance,

Very truly yours,

Ae 7
