Dear "Phog":

Your nice letter and most complete report of April
13th has been received. I had a meeting of our Woodcraft
Board last week-end and we went over your recommendations
very carefully. We agree with you that probably the best
candidate in the group is Louis Beavers. Also, we rather
like his sturdy looks. And the fact that he is a bit young,
we feel, can be overcome somewhat during these difficult |
times. The probabilities are that we will not make him the
head of any department but that, in general, he will be
assisting in departments and will furnish the Indian atmosphere
and background.

Thank you so much for going into this matter so
thoroughly. I will write Mr. Solon G. Ayers, the Superintendent
of Haskell Institute, in the same mail and ask him to act as
our agent in the matter of signing up young Beavers for the
coming summer,

Mrs. Rossow joins me in kindest regards to you
and to all members of your family.

UL @h, *

Sincerely yours,

Robt. Rossow
Colonel, Cav. Res.
