Dear Mr. Quigley:

Received your note this morning along with Mr. Falkenstien's
letter. I am very sorry to state that existing Army regulatios
prohibit the appearance of an Army band in any activity other
then military, Red Cross, or War Bond drives. About the only
‘exception they will make are events in which a military team
is competiting.

I want to take this opportunity of expressing the appreciation
of the service men for your generosity in connection with the
K U-TCU game in Kansas City. I am well acquainted with Mr.
Hamey, and will get in touch with him within the next few dayse
If arrangements for transportation can be made, there will
no doubt be a number of the boys from here attending your
games at Lawrence this fall.

You might mention to Dr. Allen that I am planning. on
having another good basketball team representating the Fort
this winters We sincerely hope that we will be able to
schedule a couple of games with the KU team. I will be
able to get you some detailed information concerning this
within three or four weeks. '

Sincerely yours

Maj or, FeAe
