Dear Dr, Allen:

Upon making application for commission into the United States Naval Reserve,
I find it necessary to furnish, among the several papers, a letter from a
former employer having a knowledge of professional and technical aqualifica-
tions. You qualify for both and once again I solicit your favor in mailing
to me a letter in triplicate addressed to Commandant, Third Naval District,
90 Church Street, New York, N. Y, At the time of the interview, I asked if
it would not be possible to have the’ letters mailed direct to the Commandant
but was advised that under the present hurry, the letter might not find the
proper niche and that they were asking all applicants to submit these letters
of recommendations with the applications and other matters requested,

At the New York City K. U, luncheon last Tuesday, where Fred Hllsworth was
the principal speaker, basketball was discussed and in agreement with all,

is still the only profitable and successful sport at the University of Kansas.
We all agreed that our football teams are: pretty bad and something apparently
should be done about it. :

I have been following your games all season and quite naturally, am pleased
to see the victories rolling in, not only for the University but also in
adding to your grand coaching record. ‘

Your courtesy and cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Best and kindest regards to you.

Fraternally yours,

 

QO, F, Nesmith
