Dear Phogg:

AS you will probably notice from the cards I have sent in,
I have attended the Rotary Meeting in El Dorado and also
had the pleasure of going to a high school football game,
and expect to see another tomorrow night. This is a fine
little high school down here,

My associates here are the Lion Oil Refining Company and a
close friend is Mr. Frank Spawr, Manager of the Insurance
Department. We are wondering if, by any chance, in the early
Spring or after the first of the year your travels might take
you to Little Rock, New orleans, Shreveport or perhaps Tex-
arkanae If so they would like to arrange a joint meeting of
Some groups here, including the Methodist Men of which Frank
Spawr is Vice President. This is a group composed of two
hundred individuals, but they know that other groups would
like to hear you talk and, perhaps, see some of your basket-
ball movies.

They haven't any money to spend for this sort of thing, but
if you are going to be near or in this vicinity, they would
be delighted to guarantee your expenses from that point or
Little Rock and, if hecessary, even go to Little Rock to get
you and bring you down here. I know that sometimes your nor-.
mal travels require that you go South and I should consider
it a personal favor if you could possibly arrange to make
this one of your stopping points.

ADDRESS ALL CORRESPONDENCE TO COMPANY
