Dear Dr. Allen:

Arthur Leas, Coach of the Hays High School Basketball Tean,
is in the United States Navy and was expected home on furlough for
May 10th, the date that was convenient with you to address the bandquet
honoring the Hays High School Basketball Team. However, since receiving
your letter, I have learned that Leas will not be home before the 12th
of May. I would therefore like to have the bandquet not earlier than
May 15th and not later than May 19th. I hope that it will be possible
for you to come out on a date within said days.

Will you kindly select the date most suitable to you and
notify me as soon as convenient. I would suggest that you obtain
your train reservation as soon as possible although ordinarily it
would not have been difficult to se e a reservation from Hays east
on the 12:27 train... We will take care of your hotel reservation here
in Hays at the Lemer Hotel and will arrange for someone to meet you
at the train.

 

I certainly hope that it will be possible for you to come out
end regret that it was necessary to make the change in dates.

With kindest regards, I am

Yours very truly,

a

Norman W. Jeter
Attorney at Law
