Pear I'ernald:- 
I am filling- out a Plank for an examination 
for a position similar to that which I have held for the 
past three summers with the U.S. Pept. of Agriculture. 
This may lead to something a little letter than heretofore 
if I pass it. If I do not I shall probably he no worse of 
than in the past. [The above information is not intended 
for general circulation at present]. 
I have to give the names and addresses of five persons 
on this application who have knowledge of jfty"character, 
experience, and ability”. I should like to use your name 
an one of these if you have no objection. 
Very truly,
