Dear Dr. Ellis:  I have tried to contact you by phone and hope to reach you
this way.  I am doing well and my internship here at SDSU is wonderful.  I am
organizing a collection of Native American baskets, including over 100
collected by J.P Harrington.  Anyway, I would like to apply for the University
of Penn. internship listed in the Jan 1995 Aviso.  Would it be possible for
you to write a letter of recommendation for me?  It doesn't list specifics for
the letters, but I would assume you know what they would require.  I need
three letter and was also going to ask Dr. Christenson and Ted Greenberg.  My
new telephone number is 619/273-6901.  I would be happy to forward more
information if necessary. Thanks ever so much!!!  Ski
