Dear Mr. Baileys = = = , ie

; It was most generous of you to arrange for my leaving at

9315 peme April 11. I do appreciate that. However, I have made
other errangenents that will not _ for that early meeting un~-
less you desire it.

I may travel part of the way by motor car and I now release
you from that arrangement if you wish it. I never like to jump
in and out of a meeting without having an opportunity to shake
hands with the many friends and guests. It does something that
we people from the University should do more of. It allows us
to become better acquainted with the people who help pay our taxes
and maintain this fine sehool as well as the other splendid schools
of the state. For that reason, I will not hurry away.

I do want you to know, however, I appreciate it. \
