Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Dear Don:

It was mighty nice of you to ask me to speak at your ‘
Y.M.CeA. all-sports banquet. It will be « pleasure for me to
accept. :

Would it not be better for you to offer possibly two or
three dates that would be most convenient to you? Then I will
check with my dates and submit the one that is most acceptable
to me from your agreeable dates.

It will be a great pleasure to see you again and to visit
with my good friend, Ira Carrithers, of whom I am very fond.

It is a fact that I will have to travel a little farther
then many that you have had, so if it is- agreeable with you,
you could figure the extra expense according to your om angle
and I would be very happy with it. If this will be any embar-
rassment to you, of course I would not want you to do it, but
the travel is quite an item of expense these deys and I thank
you for taking that into account.

_ I am planning on having a fine visit with you when I some

up and I will try still to do saacsthing in regard to the other
matter if possible.

Sincerely yours,

Pirector of Physical Education,
