Randolph, Kansas June 29, 1939 Dr. F. C. Allen Varsity Basketball Coach University Of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I received your letter today and I was cebtainly glad to hear from youe I want to thank you very much for what you have done for me. You have been very kind to me and I want you to know that I appreciate it very much. To day I received a blank from Salina. I-read in the paper sometime ago where a physical education job was. open in the Yunior High School. I wrote to them and they sent me a blank to fill out at once. They said they did'nt know for sure as yet about the vacancy but would like to have my credentials on hend. I sent my credentials to them. I was wondering if you would write me alletter of recommendation. I am enclosing a stamped envelope so that you can send a letter to the Superintendent. I also thought that you might know some one in Salina who might be able to help me. I have been working in the harvest some so the correspondence work I have checked out has slowed up for some time. I suppose I had better close now. I do want to thank you again for all the things you have done for me. Hoping you are enjoying the best of health. I remain as ever-- Yours very truly, a merc Raymond Swanson
