Dear Colonel Rossow:

I was delighted to have your letter of April 7th. Last Saturday
I got in touch with Solon G, Ayers, Superintendent of Haskell Institute,
and made on appointment for Monday with him. ‘Today I went to Haskell
at his request and interviewed these five boys.

| Louis Beavers seems to be the best of the lot that would be

availeble. Henry Shemayme is more meture, but he is in A~l. He is
19 years of age and has a fine personality, but is not as huskily
built as the other boys. However, he 4s far ahead of the group as
far as mturity is converned in handling situations.

You will notice the only boys that they ere recommending are boys
17 years of age, with the exception of Shemayme. Jacob Severs is a
pretty fine chap but he is very reticent, and when I interviewed the:
boys I asked if there wes any possibility of their getting homesick,
and he was one of the Loys who mentioned that it might be possible.

The other boy is Dewey Wolf Voice. Wolf Voice is a Montam
Tnéian and seems to have a lot of whet it takes for a boy of his age,
but I de not believe tlmt he is nearly as efficient or as personable
as Louis Beavers. Melvin Asbill is a fine, clever, little fellow.

I would recommend Lene Beavers Wuuber One. Then, if the draft
doesn't cateh Henry Shemayme I would say that he would do a good job,
but his physique is somewhat against him - tell, enguier, and does not
idook any too atrong although I believe he could stand it. He is in
the commercial class out there, has graduated from high school, and
would have Sula See’ at She Univeral; of Risteen In wien bh havens
eligible for the draft he cane back to Hasiell on went into the busi~
ness echool here.

Every one of these boys are highly illite by the ‘eetatabion
ent: and principal of the school as dependeble, efficient, and A Number
One leaders for their age.

The reason I am enclosing only two photographs of these boys is
because these are the only two who were here last year. faskell
photographs all of these boys, to be used in their activity ticket.
I am sending you all of thie material so that you can make your own —
decision, and after you have made it if you will commmicate with —
