Dear Phogs

The purpose of this letter is purely personal; a request for your interest

and assistance in helping a relative of mine, a niece to be exact, if it is
possible for you to do so. The young lady in question is Ruth Gungl who
graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from the Northern State Teachers
College of Oklahoma in 1936. Her major subjects were science and mathematics,
Ruth has taught two years in a small school in Oklahoma and I believe remained
the second year ewen though she had an opportunity to move because of my
recommendation that she remain at least two years in her first teaching
position. Ay the end of the second year period she resigned her position
because she did not care to go back to the particular school in question.

Up to the present time she has not secured a school for the coming year and
wishes to enroll in a graduate school and secure her Masters degree, As with
many ambitious young folks, Ruth does not have a lot of money and it will be
necessary for her to borrow a large portion of any funds she needs to continue
in school. My thought was that it might be possible for her to make a contact
through some interested person whereby she could earn a portion, possibly all
of the funds necessary for her to continue in school. I can say for her that
she is a very serious minded, sincere girl, one who will be found to be
absolutely dependable and one who is always willing to give value received for
any consideration granted, ©

I do not suppose that you, because of your connections in physical education,
will know directly of a position thst Ruth might secure, On the other hand I
had thought that you would be willing to discuss what could be done with the
proper party and let me know about it.

Ruth's address is — Ruth Gungl, 1113 South Peoria Ave., Tulsa, Oklahoma,
Trusting that you have had a good summer and that things are going along with you
as they should and assuring you that I will apvreciate anything you can do in

this particular instance, I am as always with personal regards,

Sincerely yours,
