My Dear Moffat-
Yur letter reached me this morning and I shall be glad to consider the position you mention- It is just the kind of a position I would like to get.
As for my work in college, I took the regular academic course - Classics Spanish, German, Englishand Mathematics during the first two years.

I always stood well in Math, Latin & Spanish and would prefer to teach those branches
My standing throughout my course was high 3rd general group and once 2nd general group and my name was placed upon the honor list -
In Athletics I took no very prominent part - I played one spring upon the Varsity scrub baseball team and also upon some very strong club teams - and during the summer I pitch for several teams around here.
I did not play football in college but have played here and I felt that I could coach a team

theoretically if not practically
I shall be glad to apply for the position and will be very grateful to you for what influence you may use in my behalf and I wish to thank you for your kind remembrance of me -
I will enclose a couple testimonials in case you need them - and I can refer you to Profs. Packard, Lewis, Wilson, Hunt etc at Princeton.
Thanking you again for your kind interest and hoping all ends well I remain
Yours Sincerely
Oswald J Linger 1902
