Dear Dr. Allen:

You will probably renember my spesking to you about my brother
Bill at our Easketball Bangiet. Bill was supposed to cone to
Lawrence the week end of the Relays, but he was working and unable
to get away. I was home last week end, the first time since Haster,
end I had quite a talk with Bill. He is still very, very eager to
come to the University of Kansas.

Bill is working this summer at ihe Mill in Sterling, but we all
krow that he would be unable to come to K. U. unless he could get
some kind of a job. I remember my struggle at K. U. -= working at
the Jayhawk for my board and on N.Y.A. for spending money. It wasn't
too pleasant. However, I have talked to the Wyandotte boys up there--
and they really seem to like their arrangement.

Beimg my brother, I think Bill has possibilities. ke is a good
athlete, an "A" student, and a hard worker. He earned eleven athletic
letters at Sterling and made the National Honorayy Society. Of course,
I realize that Sterling is a small town, but I feel that Bill hes it
in him. He wants to be a coach.

I would surely be very grateful if you would give hin Some kind
of a job in your department. Of course, 1 realise that you have a lot
of boys to take care of, but I remember yout saying you could always
use another good boy.

How is Summer School going? I imagine thet you have been enjoying
the cool weather. I surely heave. I have a job as Research Chemist in

a Crystal Laboratory in Kanses City, Mo. We make crystals for the
