OORTISS, DEAN AND Di::REOTOR AMES,:IOWA, June '39, 1906 Dear Professor Kerr :-- -I have your valued favor of the 20th inst . whicl1 crone to hand during m;y absence . I have just had a conversation with Mr. Larson in regard to the position in your institution . I think Ur . Larson has about concluded to withdraw his name from consideration, for the position mentioned . However, he suggested that he might be willing to ma.ke a trip out there to look over the field . If he should conclude to do this and would decide to b ecome a candidate for the position, I shall be glad to write you de-finitely concerning his work . I may say in general however, that Mr. Larson has rendered very good service in this institution and we prefer not to lose him; however, we make ' it a policy to put nothing in the way of our men who have opportunities to do better elsewhere . Professor w. J . Kerr , Agricult ural College . Loi:;an, Utah . Very truly yours ,
