I asked the chair of one of the departments at Private College if he would write a letter of recommendation for me. He happily did and sent me the draft and asked for my input.
I have no problem with the content of the letter. But there are a couple of grammatical errors.
Do I tell him?
About Me
- Seeking Solace
- I am a college professor who is fumbling through the chaos of academia, rheumatoid arthritis, working on my PhD and just being a 40 something woman. I used to be a lawyer, which made me a snarky little person. I have a wonderful Husband and a German Shepherd named Junior. They help keep me sane.

Phrase it in a way that lets him save face... something like, thanks for the kind words in your draft -- I'm sure you're intending to fix ______ and _______, but -- since I'm a stickler for detail, I had to point it out.
Oh man...that is a tough one! I would say you are wanting to put your best foot forward though so you should probably say something. Inside Philosophy Factory's idea is a good one.
He asked for your input, so... yes, say something.
Yes. I think IPF gives you a good way to do so.
Thanks everyone. I did write something similar to what ITPF said. :)
