Dear Dr. Weavers

Dr. E. We Konrad of Slater, Missouri, drove over to Lawrence,
‘Kansas, last night to talk with me regarding the possibilities of his
getting on as a trainer for one of the National League baseball clubs.

I have known Dr. Konrad for some six years and have always
found him to be an honest, straightforward young physician. He is very
sincere in all of his work and, since he is very fond of athletic compe=
tition and sports of all kinds, I am very sure that he would do an
excellent job as a trainer should he be fortunate enough to secure such
a@ position. Dr. Konrad has attended a great number of athletic contests
in which my team has participated and I have had an opportunity to visit
with him a great deal. He is clean physically and mentally and, in addi-
tion to his work as a physician, I am sure that he would transmit the right
attitude to the men under his cares In other words, his influence would be
good upon the men. -

Dr, Konrad is & graduate of the Kirksville College of Osteopathy
and Surgery and, therefore, he is well qualified to do work of this kind.
He graduated in 1939,
se If there is any other information that I could furnish you
regarding the character standing and professionality of Dr. Konrad, I
would be happy to furnish you the same,
' I have a high regard for him as a gentleman and a physician.

Sincerely yours,
