Dear Mr. Burden:

I have just had information that Rotary International

_ will mest at St. Louis from May 17 to 20. This date has

been changed a souple of times and I am sure now that it
is pretty definitely decided upon.

I have been serving as vice president of Lawrence
Rotary for the past year, and it may not be presumptuous
to assume that I may succeed to the presidency, unless
the directors see otherwise. I do not see how I can be
released from my obligation to Rotary, yet I feel very
apologetic to you at this late date in writing this letter
of explanation.

i preswac that the Zlst would be too late for your .
comsencement, would it not? If not, I would be very happy
to endeavor to make arrangements. I will appreciate a
reply at your convenience.

Regretting this situation, I am

Very cordially yours,

Director of Physical Sducation,
PCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach. .
