Dear Dr. Allen:

I have at hand your reply of May 9 to Mr. Howard ¥. Boltz, our Associate
Secretary, in which you state that you would be glad to help us out at
Gamp Wood as speaker on either May 27 or 28. I am putting you down
UK BA — for Tuesday, May 28.

are” The program will start at 9:00 o'clock in the morning, and there will

be time for about a 30 or 35 minute talk followed by about a 45 minute
forum on the subject of your speech. We should like to have you give a
talk on Sportsmanship, and then our forum can be on the same subject.
We find this is one of our most discussed topics at any Hi-Y period,
and so of course we are glad to have you as our speaker and resource
person for the forun.

Was it your intention to be with us for the evening meeting on that day
also? Please let me know soon, if it was, because we can use you definitely
as a speaker in the evening if you would care to stay. If not, thenl
shall have to make arrangements for someone else to be with us at that
time. The evening talk would be about 25 minutes in length, and could
be somewhat of an inspiration talk or a summary concluding statement on
the topic of Sportsmanship as you presented it in the morning and as it
was developed in the forum. I will await your reply eagerly to know
whether or not you can be with us for the evening also. I hope you can,
but if, of course, you have other duties, please feel free to say so,
because I can get someone else to make the evening contribution.

I believe Mr. Boltz explained to you that we could not pay honorariums,
but that we would be willing to take care of your transportation--3¢ a
mile--so that you would not be out any actual expense as you meke the
