- Description:
- Constituents often looked to Blatt to help sway the local draft board in their favor. Ministers and divinity students were usually exempt from the draft. In this case, a young minister-in-training had to leave school for a time to earn some money and consequently found himself eligible for selective service. Blatt intervenes on his behalf, but there is no indication in the collection as to whether he was successful.
