24 April 45 Dear Dr. Tressider,

Your letter to Stanford Men working for Uncle Sam was forwarded to me and as I think it was one of wisest moves the school could make I decided to write.

When the President sent me Greetings I had just begun Law School so left feeling that it would start in again a year later. At that time I was definite, however as I work on my second fogey I have my doubts as to whether I will. The big question in my mind is whether at the beginning, probably the First Quarter I would be so much out of the habit of studying that even though

I completed the Quarter, I might have laid too weak a foundation to finish the School. I had thought that I might take some Undergraduate courses to accustom myself to studying again. The only suggestion I can offer would be to offer interviews with someone who could tell if we were qualified to start right away, as there are enough Professors whipping up tests right and left to have an aptitude test made up that would answer the questions in the evaluee's mind.

I don't think there is any worry about recreation as a time in the

Army will teach anyone to find it.

For the Statistics I am now a 2nd Lt. in the Cavalry and received the Commission 3 Oct 42.

Your truly Lt. Geo D. Simpson
