I have explained to him that you were arranging a singles
metch between the two lady piayers and also a mixed
Goubles match. Twelve minutes is the entire time
évailable. Mr. Allen wants to send your party tickets
anc as the reservations of the geme are difficult to get
it is important that you notify Dr. Forrest C. Allen >
by eariy mail the number of persons you want tickets
for and also the names of all the players as above
Suggested. This is necessary because of the import
ef publicity in advance, re
