Dear *Phog";

We have your several letters from Gene Tunney with reference to Goal-
Hi at the Navy Air Training Bases and I have written Lt. Com. Edward
Mahan, Athletic Director at the Jacksonville Naval Air Station, per
attached two copies. I suggest you keep one of these copies for your
records and that you enclose the second copy in a letter that I sug-
gest you write Gene Tunney.

Incidentally, for your records, I am attaching a copy of Tumney's
letter to you of March 7, retaining the original that you sent to me
for our files. I think you should have this copy, because I believe
Tunney's letter is just what we want to open the door for us down
there to get some high powered publicity in support of Goal-Hi.

You will note that Tunneyconcludes his second paragraph by saying,
"and in addition, the valuable advertising that _ with their being
erected at this Station.”

 

I don't want to appear presumptious by telling you what to write Gene
Tunney because I am sure that you can do this better than I, but so
that you can gain a full appreciation of my thought in the matter, I
am going to draft a suggested letter for you to write Tunney and ask
that you please write a similar letter to him, and we will see what we
can do toward bringing the question of publicity to a head with the
desired results for all of us.
