Dear Phog: ©

We are having a K. U. Alumni Dinner at 6:30 P.M. on the night
of November 22nd in one of the special dining rooms in the Casa Bonita
Cafe in this City, which is just across the street from the Lamer Hotel
in which one of the ladies on the P.T.A. Committee obtained a reservation
of room for you on that date.

We arranged our Alumni Dinner on that date, changing it from
today, for the reason that the Alumni wished to have you with them at
their annual dinner and indirectly I had asked Fred Ellsworth to contact
you to see whether or not you would be available to us, mowing full well
that you would accept our invitation providing someone else had not spoken
in advance.

Fred tells me that your train is due in Salina at 4:00 otclock
on the afternoon of November 22nd. I will meet you at the train and take
you to your hotel room. This room was reserved by one of the ladies of
the P.T.A. before we made arrangements for this dinner. If for any reason
this room should not be available we have a guestroom at our house and at
tis time will extend an invitation to you to come to our home.

Let me hear from you concerning this dinner engagement because
I know that all the old K. U. grads will turn out in full force to greet
you and to enjoy hearing you on whatever message you have to bring to them
at this time.

Sincerely yours,
