CARLSON, Assistant General Passenger Agent H. H. CARTLIDGE, Assistant General Passenger Agent Dr. Forrest C. Allen, Director of Physical Education, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Dr. Allens I was indeed chagrined to receive your commu- nication of January 31, relating your unfortunate ex- perience in connection with the trip of yourself and Basketball Party from Lawrence to Oklahoma City and re- turn on December 25, 1945. I ean quite well appreciate how you feel with reference to this matter, but I can assure you that our Company does not condone discourtesy on the part of our personnel. We are continually working with our person- nel trying to impress upon them the fact that the wish- es of the patron are paramount to all others, but un- fortunately, some of our men fail to appreciate the im- portance of this fact. You can rest assured that we shall have this matter promptly investigated and such action taken as will prevent a repetition. Just as soon as we have completed the investigation, I shall communi- cate with you further. We are also endeavoring to locate Mr. Pierce's travelling bag, and am hopeful that we shall be success- ful in this respect, Ee viele ple) el. ceheislle] chee) ge ee
