Miss Helen Humphrey, .
Lawrence Chamber of Commerce,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Miss Humphrey:

i am giving you an individual report concerning the
subscriptions for bonds in the Third War Loan Drive. This memor-
andum sets out, so far as possible, the net purchase price in the
first set of figures, and the second set of figures shows the face
or maturity value of the bond.

ea In my work I have suggested that the individuals buy

their bonds at the bank of their choice. I understand that each

day you get a report from each bank of the purchasers and it will

be easy for you to check against this list. One of the purchasers

it~ his bond at the postoffice, because he stated that

went to the bank they did not have the $500 denomination

in Series B bonds. < refer to Mr. Gowans, and his partner, Carl

Drake, who is also purchasing a $500 bond at the postoffice. I
imagine you check the postoffice for purchasers, do you not?

. A few of the faculty members have not been employed
during the summer and they have had a long spell without fifiancial
income. I refer to Miss Meribah Moore, Miss Kathleen Doering, Dr.
Robert Molair Davis and Dr. Otto Miessner. Professcr Davis is pur-
chasing a $200 bond in October and a §400 bond monthly thereafter.
Miss Deering has had illness to prevent her subscribing. She had
an expensive surgical operation but she hopes at some future time
to subsoribe. Dr. Miesaner depends on his royalties, and will buy
soon. I find that Professor John Ise is in the same position as
Professor Davis. ae

Stenley Schwahn stated that the Lawrence Commonwealth
purchased $5,000, and apparently he counted his subscription in
there. I solicited him but he did not subscribe.

I found no one had solicited Lt. Col. B. Le MoMorris,
commandant of the R.0.T.C. He purchased a bond and when I took
his subscription I got the rest of the officers of the Military
Department. Their subscriptions are appanded.

Miss Minnie Moodie, whose wmtimely death occurred
Sunday, talked with me Saturday and stated that she would purchase
one $75 bond but was checking with the bank and if her funds were
sufficient she would purchase another. Mra. C. G. Bayles and Mrs.
