Dear Phog:

I appreciate your letter of

September 19 and there seems to be no objection
if we were to participate in a tournament there
on the dates you mentioned, namely, December 27,
28 and 29. Naturally the important item here is
that we do not know what financial arrangement
the promoters of this enterprize could give us
and also we have the chance to play in Colorado
on the 26th of December and with the game with
you on the 28th as a possibility, the set-up en-
ables us to secure at least partially our expenses.

I am sorry that I gave the in-
pression that we would need $300 to play at your
place because I had referred to your telegram which
stated that $200 was about your limit.

To summarize my thoughts in the
matter if we play in the tournament we should drop
the Colorado game of December 26 and fill-up the
three games with the tournament possibilities. Or
the other alternative is to play Colorado December 26
snd Kansas December 28 ami 29.

Now that you know our plans just
figure out anything that you think would be best for
us and I am sure we can fall in with your ideas.
Should we just play you one game there we would con-
sider the guarantee as being $200 which I believe is
agreeable to you.

Sincerely yours,

‘
