Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Dr. Allen;

With the opening of the 1942-43 basketball season close at
hand, and your game with Fordham University to be held at Madison
Square Garden on December 28th, may I take the liberty of pointing
out to you the advantages and excellent facilities offered by the
Henry Hudson Hotel. :

We are located on West 57th street - about a five-minute
walk from the Garden which is at 50th Street. Subway and bus lines
which make stops outside the door of the arena are available at
the corner.

The Henry Hudson Hotel is a modern hostelry of twenty-seven
stories with 1200 rooms, each equipped with private.bath. It offers
our patrons a choice of restaurants and a moderately priced cafeteria.
In addition, we submit the following fine facilities which no other
New York Hotel can offer: a fully-equipped gymasium, an excellent
marked-off basketball court, electric cabinets, rubbing and massage
tables, showers, rest cots, etc. The appointments are superb, and
while the equipment, including the spacious lounges are unexcelled
and compare favorably with America's finest hotels, the atmosphere is
akin to that found in the foremost clubs in the country.

We shall be pleased to arrange for you special individual
or group rates for members of the University of Kansas team, and those
who may accompany them to New York for the Fordham game. We have been
host to numerous college groups coming to New York for their athletic
competition with local collegs, and have always handled such movements
satisfactorily. If possible, we would like to have the name of the
secretary of the New York alumni who might be interested in securing
accommodations for a pre-game rally or dinner.

Kindly advise me if there is any further information you
may desire regarding the Henry Hudson Hotel.
