STEVENS HOTEL CHICAGO : MICHIGAN. BOULEVARD JOSEPH P. GENERAL oan AT BALBO DRIVE | OVERLOOKING LAKE MICHIGAN be WABASH 4400 April 20, 1940 Mr. Forrest C. Allen, Director of Physical Education & Recreation University 6f Kansas. Lawrence, Kas. Dear Mr. Allen: Please accept our sincere thanks for your letter of April 17th. Apparently we misunderstood Mr. DeGroot's letter to us on April 13th. He mentioned that he would possibly be interested in a suite, therefore, we quoted rates on that basis. However, in addition we sent him a schedule of all of our room rates, the same as we are enclosing with this letter. We might add that all of our minimum rate rooms had already been on reservation for your group; however, a few cancelations came through today and we will hold them in your name to protect your reservations on a minimum rental basis. In doing this, however, we would appreciate an immediate response as to your requirements. We are very happy that you called this to our attention and will be very pleased to be your host during the coming Physical Education Convention. Cordially yours, THE STEVENS - Gerhart eservation Manager. JLG:AG
