BUSINESS MANAGER OFFICE OF : ce STATE BUSINESS MANAGER ea 2 STATE HOUSE fe : TOPEKA February 15, 1939 Mr. Forrest C. Allen Director of Physical Hducation University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Mr. Allen: We are indeed sorry to get your report under date of the 13th concerning your Request #1250 for wire netting. Since there was nothing to indicate that other quotations had been requested by you, we felt justi- fied in sending out for other bids. As the W. A. L. Thompson Company bid was low, and everything indi- cated they were bidding on specifications, we awarded the order to them. We will take this up with the Thompson Company, and see what they have to say about it. We assure you we regret this occurrence. Very truly yours, ~~ Mark Krouch 1 Asst. Business Manager MK:G
