Dear Dr. Allen:

I note by yesterday's Des Moines Register that you are to
speak at a football banquet on Monday evening, November 2h,
in Knoxville, Iowa. I am writing this letter to give you

a special invitation to speak before an assembly of our
high school and junior college students on Tuesday morning,
November 25. If you can come on Tuesday, November 25, we
will make the assembly our annual football assembly when
the letters are awarded to the members of the team. In
other words, you would be the principal speaker for our
annual football assembly program. We would be willing to
pay you a flat fee of 515 and take care of your hotel bill
in Marshalltown on Monday night, November 24. The assembly
program at the high school would be held at Seignt forty-five
o'clock on Tuesday morning, November 25.

Now, there are other possibilities in case your schedule
will permit you to come to Marshalltown. We can have the
assembly program on Monday morning, November 24, if that
would suit you better. Another possibility is that some
of the service clubs may be able to invite you to speak to
them on Monday noon or Tuesday noon, whichever day you
would be here. In other words, we might be in a position
to offer you a more attractive program than just the high
school speech alone. I mention all these possibilities in
case you wish to consider them when you write me. I will
be glad to hear from you at your earliest convenience.

With best wishes, I am
Sincerely yours,
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
