Barnard, Missouri February 2, 1939 Dear Mr. Allen: T am writing you in regard to a cartilage in- sary oe right knee. After seeing the doctor I would like to have your advice on whether you think it would further injure it if I continued to play basket ball. k I injured my knee about the first of December and have not exercised it strenuous since. It does not ain me and when I run it annearently does not hurt it. 1 was eo wondering if you thought a bandage of any sort would heln. I am now wearing an elastic bentacat The besure is on the outward side of the knee. The doctor said it was a disarrangement of the ex- ternal condyle. 1 would apperciate it very much if you would tell me what you think about it. | Wishing you luck with your ball team I remain Sincerely yours ames G SKidm oKe OR.
