Dear Doe;

For your party leaving Kansas City on our ROCKET
12:01 P.M. Monday, December 27th, am holding seats 54-56-
58-60-62-64-66~-68-70-72-49-51-57=-59~-61-63-65-67, in Car
"C"; and for the return trip out Des Moines 5:28 P.M.
Thursday December 30th, am holding seats 1 to 17 and 19
in Car "a?%,

Should you decide to return on the morning train from
Des Moines instead of the ROCKET, please promptly notify
our Des Moines Ticket Office to Cancel space as it is
rather unusual to honor party coach tickets at all on the
ROCKET Trains and I had some difficulty in gaining this
concession.

Unfortunately, on account of previous assignment, it
will not be possible for me to accompany party on this
trip; however, I do hope that I will be able to go with
you to Ames.

With the best of Holiday Wishes and all good luck
during the coming year, remain

Very truly yours,
