Dear Dr. Ailen:

I appreciate having your letter recom-
mending Mano Stuckey for our football coach-
ing job.

You state that he is an outstanding
physical education major. I am wondering
if he can qualify to teach mathematics and
physical science. We need someone who can
teach both physics and chemistry and a class
or two in mathematics.

If Mr. Stuckey can qualify for the teach-
ing end of this job we should be very much
pleased to see him. Thank you for suggesting
him to us.

Very truly, yours,
