Gentlemen:

I contacted Mr. Hoff today and have very little
news that is good to report.

The date of Dec. 17 has been contracted for by an
Evangelist and he will not make a change; he feels that the last
night will be his big money night- I had always thought that they
counted on the last night as an ideal night for saving more Souls.
The night of the 18th. is open.

The week-end of the 3lst. and lst. was suggested
but that too is taken for the big Christmas party. The week-end of tke
the 10-11 i8 taken but he feels sure that he could make a change
here if you would care to come on that night. I remember that
Nebraska has a game scheduled on that night; perhaps others have
planned to play on that week-end.

Mr. Hoff spent the entire day in an attempt to
get the 17-18 open for you as he is very enxious to have you play
here this Winter. He has some week-end datessopen in January but
of course that would not help this combination.

Sorry I couldn't make a more satisfactory report.

¢

very cordially yours,
R. E. Peters

P.S. Will be looking for your Conference schedule right away,and |
